Caton Bredar
Award-winning journalist Caton Bredar grew up in the shadow of Arlington Park and held a variety of licenses on the racetrack including exercise rider, owner, trainer and racing official before turning her attention to broadcasting. The grand-daughter of Hall of Fame jockey Ted Atkinson, Bredar began her television and radio career in Chicago before moving on to Florida, New Jersey and California, ultimately settling in Louisville, Ky. Bredar initially worked as a news anchor for the NBC affiliate, WAVE-3 for which she researched, wrote and co-produced the Eclipse, Emmy and SPJ Award-winning documentary ‘A Legend Re-Affirmed – 30th Anniversary of the Last Triple Crown.” Prior Bredar lived in Los Angeles, where she was the first on-air talent hired for the then fledgling horse racing channel TVG. She is a contributor to publications such as “Horseplayer”, “Trainer” and the Chicago Sun Times. She can also be heard every Saturday on SIRIUS Satellite Radio’s weekly "Down the Stretch."
