Due to human error on the part of United Tote, Keeneland is in the process of adjusting the pool for the Maker’s Mark/Toyota Blue Grass Double wager. It was determined that the pool did not close at the proper time, inadvertently allowing additional wagers into the pool.


After investigation, it was determined that the impact on the pool was minimal.


Keeneland officials are working this evening with its simulcast partners to identify tickets that need to be removed from the pool.


An adjusted pool and will pays are expected to be announced on Saturday morning.


Keeneland is working with the Kentucky Racing Commission to ensure the integrity of the wagering process and that Keeneland maintains compliance with state wagering regulations.


“We regret that the situation occurred and apologize for any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Robert Butcher, Keeneland’s director of mutuels.
