Light Up Racing has launched a Spanish translation feature on their website with the intent to make resources even more accessible to the entire horse racing community, the organization said on Thursday in a press release.

The Spanish version can be accessed by clicking the flag icon located in the top right corner of the screen on the website. By offering this option, Light Up aims to bridge language barriers across the industry.

“At Light Up Racing, we’re focused on empowering industry members to confidently engage in tough conversations,” said Vicky Leonard, founder of Kick Collective. “The Spanish translation ensures the Hispanic community has equal access to the resources needed to navigate these discussions and foster a unified, informed voice in horse racing.”

“Our hope with Light Up Racing is to empower our industry from a grassroots level,” said Chair of the Light Up Racing Board of Directors Price Bell. The Hispanic community is an active participant at all levels of our industry. We hope by translating our site into Spanish we encourage more participation and a unified voice across our industry. We are proud of what we have accomplished in our first year and look forward to 2025.”
