{Lexington, Kentucky}...The North American Racing Academy, which was founded to train jockeys in 2006, is expanding its scope and will become a workforce development school for horse racing farms. NARA will offer a one-year certificate program in exercise riding and racehorse care and training in addition to its current two-year program for jockeys and horsemen. It will prepare students at the school to work in jobs ranging from exercise riders to grooms and will emphasize horsemanship skills, racehorse care and barn management. A pre-admission orientation for the program will be held for interested applicants on April 16th at Keeneland in Lexington.
