Jessica Otten is joining the Eldorado Scioto Downs team for the 2026 racing season. Otten has been working on updating the TV graphics for the track and will be seen on-air conducting paddock interviews, providing race analysis and creating additional content for social media and the simulcast show. She has also been busy setting up on-track promotions to make the guest experience better at the track.
"I’m very excited to join the team at Scioto Downs,” said Otten. “I’ve been working 2 nights a week at the Meadowlands for the past few years as a per diem employee and I really need to make a living. Scioto runs 5 nights a week starting next week and then 4 nights a week from August through October. It's sad that the future doesn't look very bright in New Jersey but I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute and grow within such a strong environment.”
“It is great having Jessica join the team,” said Scioto’s Director of Racing, Jason Roth. “Her experience in the industry both on and off air will help us immensely. She has worked big events in the past and will be a huge part of making us successful with the 2026 Breeders Crown.”
