PodcastsWUKY's Saving Stories remembers former Keeneland president and trustee Ted Bassett who passed away last week at the age of 103. In the summer of 2019, the Nunn Center and the UK Libraries partnered with Keeneland, the Keeneland Association, Keeneland Library and Museum Foundation, and the Thoroughbred Daily News to conduct a series of oral history interviews called Life's Work. And one of the first interviews released was an interview with Ted Bassett. In this highlighted section Bassett reflects on the tension that exists between tradition and innovation, especially when he first came to work at Keeneland. He explains why it wasn't always easy to bring modern touches to the traditional venue and why Keeneland's place in the industry will always be unique and special.
