Tom VanMeter is no longer welcomed at Keeneland Race Course after posting racist comments on Facebook. The renowned Kentucky horse breeder and owner has been banned from racing and sales at the track which called his comments “reprehensible.” VanMeter foaled and raised 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah for Zayat Stables. Last year, VanMeter-Gentry Sales generated more than 5.6-million dollars from horses sold at auctions.
