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.
