The sport of horse racing celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve May 4, 2024, at Churchill Downs. Fans came out en force for the famed run for the roses, many decked out with outfits to celebrate the marquee race’s milestone.

The $1.5 million Longines Kentucky Oaks celebrated its 150th anniversary May 3, 2024 at Churchill Downs and a cloudy, rainy afternoon in Louisville could not dampen the spirits of those in attendance.

Andrea McGowan adopted her first LongRun Thoroughbred Adoption Society graduate in 2010. The organization was recommended to her by a friend, who exercised racehorses at Woodbine, as being a trusted source for horse adoption. Creemore was Andrea’s equine partner for 11 years before his well-deserved retirement in 2021.

After retiring Creemore, Andrea knew where to look for her next horse.

“There was no question of where I'd find my next partner in crime,” Andrea declared.

The Survivors Parade, now in its 16th year, has entrenched itself as one of the highlights of Kentucky Oaks day at Churchill Downs.
