ANIMAL PLANET SERIES 'JOCKEYS'

FILMED DURING OAK TREE AT SANTA ANITA

The Oak Tree Racing Association and Santa Anita Park will be working with the production company Go Go Luckey Entertainment during the Oak Tree meet September/October in conjunction with a new Animal Planet television series called "Jockeys," which delves into the intense sport of race riding.
The show is scheduled to premier early next year.
"Jockeys" will follow several riders during the 26-day Oak Tree session, capturing the rivalries, bonds and risks in an inside look at their profession.
Oak Tree Director of Broadcasting Amy J. Zimmerman and Director of Community/Special Events Pete Siberell worked with GGLE last March when it was shooting its "pitch tape" for Animal Planet and were so impressed they gave them a green light to shoot the series during Oak Tree at Santa Anita.
The high-gloss Animal Planet docu-series will feature an intimate perspective of the exhilarating world of horseracing.

From the adrenaline inside the starting gate to the tremendous rewards and relentless pressure of the winner's circle, "Jockeys" will give viewers unprecedented access to the lives of the people at the top of the sport.
