Steve May Named Executive Director Of Minnesota Racing Commission

Steve May of Georgetown, Ky., will be the next executive director of the Minnesota Racing Commission. He will succeed Tom DiPasquale, who retired in February. May is the Director of Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Compliance for the Kentucky Horse Racing commission. His educational background includes bachelor and master degrees, including an MBA. Public health emergencies have cast uncertainty over horse racing in the United States and Canada. The opening of live racing at Canterbury Park and Running Aces Casino in mid-May is likely to be postponed. The Commission chairman Jim Lane cautions that the opening may be delayed for several weeks or longer.
