Prewitt, 37, has been the announcer at Pompano Park and the Red Mile and will continue in that role at both racetracks this year. He will also manage post times, gambling menus and social media at Caesar’s Entertainment’s harness tracks and be on-site at northern tracks when Pompano is dark.

“Gabe will wear many hats and he’s a great asset to our team,” said Joe Morris, Vice President of Racing for Caesar’s Entertainment-Racing, in making the announcement. “He has a great depth of knowledge about working with the mutuels for setting post times. He knows handicapping.

“He’s been instrumental in managing post times and the wagering menu that’s resulted in our record handles at Scioto Downs this year,” added Morris. “He’s a bright young guy and he’s already established a substantial audience for our racing product with his `Send It In’ social media campaign on twitter.”

Prewitt, a graduate of the University of Kentucky, also owns and breeds Standardbred racehorses.

Caesar’s Entertainment-Racing owns and operates harness meets at Pompano Park, Hoosier Park, Scioto Downs and Harrah’s Philadelphia.
