To my fellow American Race Fans,

In honor of Veterans Day, November 11th:
We so greatly appreciate your service. We can never repay your bravery nor comprehend your sacrifice. When we try to express our undying gratitude, words fail to feel adequate and deeds seem insufficient. You are in the hearts of all Americans. The generations of our nation’s freedom will be your legacy. America will continue her greatness for countless tomorrows because of all you provided her today.

Thank you.
For everything.
Forever.


 

Now boarding for the 2015 Breeders’ Cup

 

When preparing for travel—it’s not a time saver on the front end if it bites on your back end…

Weigh-in +

 

No, really, does this scale make me look fat?

RTCA at the 2015 Breeders’ Cup World Championships

RACE TRACK CHAPLAINCY OF AMERICA at The 2015 BREEDERS’ CUP

The White Horse Award is presented by the Race Track Chaplaincy of America (RTCA) to an individual who has done something heroic on behalf of human or horse. It is the RTCA’s way of recognizing those unsung heroes of horse racing, whether their actions are of a headline-grabbing, or the quiet and not-so-obvious, kind of heroism. Established in 2003, it is presented at the Annual White Horse Awards Luncheon, held the day before Breeders’ Cup weekend. This year it will be held in Lexington, Kentucky as KEENLAND is host of The Breeders’ Cup World Championships 2015.

This year’s artwork was created by cartoonist A.E. SABO, creator of OFF THE PACE—The Horse Racing Cartoon.
