Phase one in Lincoln, which is expected to open in September, will include a 9,000 square foot gaming floor, 445 slot machines, sports book kiosks and simulcast and live racing. “I think people are going to be excited about it and I think we’re going to be a huge asset to Lincoln and Omaha.” “I think there’s an organic enthusiasm for it in the community,” said Lynne McNally, CEO of Nebraska Horseman. Morgan said the properties will cost a total of $500 million to $600 million, with the first phase of the Warhorse Lincoln just weeks away. Warhorse Gaming will be the first casino in Lincoln and Omaha. “And we think that casino gaming adding to the horse racing is going to make for a big draw and a great tax benefit for the state and a lot of jobs.” He is excited to call the Music City home and looks forward to connecting with viewers and seeing all that the city has to offer.“This has been going on for a very long time in terms of what we’ve been doing and the horseman have been doing to try and really build up the horse-racing industry,” Morgan said.

When he’s not cheering for his favorite teams or reporting, he’s typically spending time with family, traveling or attending church. As you can imagine, he is a huge Dallas sports fan. James, a Dallas native, graduated from the University of North Texas. While there, he received a local press club award and was also a part of the station’s coverage which won a statewide Emmy. Through his reporting, the hospital changed its policy and allowed him to reunite with her before she died. One of the stories that stands out most to him was when he was able to document a father’s ‘fight’ to see his terminally ill daughter in the hospital, at the height of the pandemic. He covered stories ranging from hurricanes, presidential visits to an explosion at a local oil refinery. Prior to that, James served as a reporter/ fill-in anchor in Southeast Texas. James became active in the community through various outreach initiatives, whether it was speaking at local schools or volunteering to clean up the city. He also was a member of the local National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) chapter. While living in Memphis, James prided himself on being a voice for underprivileged communities and being a person, who residents could turn to in times of crisis or triumph. James covered stories that garnered international interest from the death of Tyre Nichols to the abduction of Eliza Fletcher. Prior to calling Nashville home, he had the privilege of working in Memphis for a few years. Jordan James joined WSMV4 as a reporter in September 2023.
