The Raíces: The Making of Latino Legacies in Racing podcast series supports Keeneland Library’s bilingual exhibit freely available to the public in Lexington, Kentucky. The exhibit and its education initiatives trace more than a century of history, sharing the stories of men and women from across the Americas who have sustained and transformed the Thoroughbred industry from the late 19th century to today. Select stories of Latinos working at every level of the sport speak to individual and collective legacies central to the evolution of modern horse racing. The American horse racing workforce has had deep Latino roots for decades, while horses bred in Latin America have shone on the world’s most demanding stages. This podcast series brings together emblematic stories of headline-making, record-breaking athletes, trainers, and international racing and breeding stables alongside the men and women charged with the around-the-clock care and management of horses on the backside of racetracks and at horse farms across the country. We will release the podcast series in 11 chapters throughout 2026. With each chapter’s release, the series presents stories through the decades from the past to the present. All chapters open with a segment of stories introduced in English by Carlos Morales, producer and host of Agentes 305, followed by the same stories in Spanish recorded by the Lexington-based, Guatemalan-born voice recording artist Ana León-Bellamy.
