Attending the Global Symposium on Racing was one of the most meaningful and rewarding academic and professional experiences of my time in the University of Arizona’s Race Track Industry Program (RTIP). The Symposium brought together leading experts, regulators, industry professionals, and students from across the horse racing industry, providing a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world application.

Two qualifying points prep races for the 2026 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve highlight the upcoming pre-Christmas weekend on the racing calendar, both set for Saturday, Dec. 20.

Esteemed writers Edward L. Bowen and Ray Kerrison and pioneering photographer Charles Christian “C. C.” Cook have been selected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame’s Joe Hirsch Media Roll of Honor.
