The final major weekend of North American “Win and You’re In” Breeders’ Cup qualifiers is fast approaching, and activity will be constant – and exciting – at three U.S. racetracks as well as at Longchamp Racecourse in France. Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., kicks off its Fall Stars weekend Friday, Oct. 4, and over three consecutive days will host eight Challenge Series races.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 30, 2024) – The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form, and the National Turf Writers And Broadcasters (NTWAB) announced today that Britney Eurton and Lindsay Czarniak will co-host the 54th Annual Eclipse Awards, which will be held on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025, at The Breakers Palm Beach. Caton Bredar will be again serving as the Ceremony Announcer.

You’ve heard for years that Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., is a must-visit destination if you consider yourself a fan of Thoroughbred racing.

Kimberly Quinn rode with Jennifer Blades at Willowbrooke Farm. Kimberly was in search of her next horse when Friend of Dubai joined the CANTER Michigan herd at the farm. Friend of Dubai, a 2016 dark bay Thoroughbred gelding, had raced 21 times and earned $30,523 over his three-year career. Friend of Dubai had only two under-saddle rides off the track, so when Kimberly inquired about him Jennifer said that she was "uncertain about his potential.”

Joy Nakrin took a huge leap of faith when she adopted a horse, sight unseen, from Blue Bloods Thoroughbred Adoption and Placement, located in Blanch, N.C. Blue Bloods is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-run organization whose mission is to help transition former racehorses from the track to their new homes. One of the organization’s unique qualities is its collaboration with the Equestrian Studies program at Averett University to help market the horses.
