Bruce Seymore has retired from his position as Executive Director of Colorado Operations and Racing at Bally’s Arapahoe Park and Shannon Ruston has been tabbed to replace him.A familiar face in the Colorado horse racing scene for the past 29 years, Seymore has made significant contributions to the horse racing community, serving as the President of the Colorado Horse Council and actively participating in Colorado politics.I would like to thank Bruce for his years of service and wish him the best of luck in his retirement, which I’m sure will include some well-deserved time on his boat, at the golf course, hunting, and spending time with his wife, Kim, their five children, and soon-to-be 16 grandchildren, said George Papanier, President at Bally’s Corporation.Ruston, a Colorado native who was born and raised in a horse racing family, joined the Bally’s team in 2020 as the park’s Racing Secretary and Director of Racing, bringing a wealth of experience having worked in every job on the backside of a horse track as well as managing family horse barns. He served as the Executive Director of the Colorado Horseracing Association from 1992 to 2020.
