- The Kentucky Harness Horsemen's Association has made their decision for the position of Executive
Secretary. After interviewing fourteen applicants, the KHHA directors chose Gabe Prewitt, at their
board meeting on Monday afternoon, as the new KHHA Executive Secretary.
Gabe Prewitt, a University of Kentucky graduate, is a harness racing enthusiast. While attending UK
he worked in the mutual department at The Red Mile, and has been a standardbred owner of such
notable horses as Otherpeoplesmoney. The 27 year old currently has the duties as the announcer
and publicity director at The Red Mile and also works for Thoroughbred Times in advertising.
- Prewitt's energy and passion for harness racing is very transparent. As he assumes his new role,
Gabe stated "I understand that I have some big shoes to fill and a lot of work ahead, but I'm looking
forward to getting to know the horsemen of Kentucky and building relationships." His plans are
simple; to hit the ground running and move things into the future. "I want to get things going in the
right direction." he said.
- As we spoke to Gabe by phone, he is currently making arrangements to make regular trips to the
other two harness tracks in Kentucky -- Bluegrass Downs and Thunder Ridge. His trips to Bluegrass
Downs will include opening weekend which begins in two weeks. He will make his way to Thunder
Ridge during it's live meet when it begins in June.
- Don't be surprised if you receive a phone call from Gabe Prewitt, as one of the things he says he
wishes to do is contact each member of the KHHA. He says, "I will listen to anyone with any concerns
and try to address their needs."
- Although he was a little surprised, he is very excited about his new position, as he knew their were
thirteen other people vying for the job. Gabe Prewitt went on to say that he feels honored to serve
the horsemen and women of Kentucky and is happy to have the opportunity.
