This week marks one of the annual highlights of the North American racing calendar, with the focus squarely on South Florida. The 55th annual Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards ceremony will be held Thursday, Jan. 22, at the Breakers Palm Beach, celebrating the best Thoroughbred racing had to offer in 2025.

The Horse Racing Women’s Association (HRWA) has announced “Winning Strategies,” a three-part professional development series created to support women navigating leadership, communication, and decision-making in today’s Thoroughbred industry. The series is facilitated by Amy Brin, MSN, MA, PCNS-BC, a nationally recognized leadership strategist with more than 20 years of experience guiding executives and organizations through change.

The horse racing spotlight shines on New Orleans this upcoming weekend, as Fair Grounds hosts a stakes-rich card Saturday, Jan. 17, anchored by the Lecomte Stakes.

The first full week of 2026 on the North American racing calendar is comparatively light in terms of high-profile graded stakes, and the reshuffling of several racedays at Santa Anita Park due to heavy rainfall and flooding in the area has altered the schedule.

The North American Thoroughbred racing calendar turns to 2026 with a busy New Year’s Day slate of racing on Thursday, and two days later on Saturday, Jan.
