Centaur Gaming Vice President of Racing Brian Elmore will retire February 26. Elmore oversees Centaur Gaming’s racing operations at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino in Anderson, Indiana and Indiana Grand Racing & Casino in Shelbyville. Elmore has spent more than four decades in the racing industry, with nearly half of those at Centaur Gaming where he served in a variety of executive level racing positions and was instrumental in the opening of Indiana’s first racino at Hoosier Park.
Prior to joining Centaur Gaming, Elmore served as vice president and general manager at Ellis Park in Henderson, Kentucky and Bandera Downs in Bandera, Texas. He is a member of the Thoroughbred Racing Association.
Centaur Gaming Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rod Ratcliff said, “Indiana’s horseracing industry has grown significantly over the last two decades, and Brian has been there the entire time working to provide our guests and horsemen with a superior racing experience while helping build a foundation for the success we see today.” Added Centaur Gaming President and Chief Operating Officer Jim Brown, “Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand have grown into nationally recognized, premier racing facilities and Brian’s hard work and dedication has significantly contributed to that effort.”
Elmore said, “Throughout my more-than-40 years in the racing industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work at nearly every level and for multiple operators, and I can truly say that my years with Centaur Gaming have been my best and most rewarding. To be a part of a company that is committed to the advancement of horseracing is something that is rare in our industry. I am proud to have had the opportunity to serve in this capacity and to work with the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, multiple Indiana horsemen associations and Centaur’s more than 2,000 dedicated team members who all share my same passion for the sport.”
