2026 Thoroughbred Makeover to Showcase More Than 400 Horses Beyond the Racetrack

For many Thoroughbreds, some of their most impressive performances come after they leave the racetrack.

That next chapter for more than 400 recently retired racehorses and former broodmares will take center stage Oct. 7-10 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington for the 2026 Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of America.

Champagne Stakes Field Honors Johnny Gaudreau's Memory

When racing fans hear the name Champagne Stakes, they think about rising star 2-year-olds, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, Kentucky Derby prospects, and some of the great Thoroughbreds of all time among the list of winners.
