Ted Bassett

The vocation “author” can now be added to the resume of James E. ‘Ted’ Bassett III, who served Keeneland for more than 40 years as President, Chairman of the Board and Trustee. His autobiography, Keeneland’s Ted Bassett: My Life, has been published by the University Press of Kentucky and is available now in bookstores.

Written by Bassett and two-time Eclipse Award-winning journalist Bill Mooney, the book chronicles Bassett’s life, from his days at Kent School and Yale University, through his service with the U.S. Marine Corps and as director of the Kentucky State Police. It richly details Bassett’s career in the Thoroughbred industry, at Keeneland, as president of Breeders’ Cup Ltd. and through his journeys as an ambassador for racing on six continents.
