Lexington, KY — Due to the extenuating circumstances created by COVID-19 and the uncertainties of moving forward with educational programming, the Racing Officials Accreditation Program announced today that it has extended the dates for completion of required continuing education hours by one year for all accredited racing officials, stewards, and judges.

Those who have already completed CE hours this year will be credited and their renewal date moved forward accordingly.

In addition, the ROAP Accreditation School scheduled for July 6-13, hosted by the University of Louisville Equine Industry Program, and the CE program scheduled the same week have been canceled. If feasible, the program will be re-scheduled later in the year.
