To celebrate the season and reflect on the stories, heroes, indelible moments, and everyday joys of Thoroughbred racing, the team at America’s Best Racing offers a helpful holiday movie and TV viewing guide for horse racing aficionados. This was originally posted in December 2016 and has been updated.

Churchill Downs has revealed the official mint julep glass and “Art of the Kentucky Derby” for the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve – both designed by Kentucky-native Grayson Reynolds.

Another holiday season is right around the corner and again 2025 presents us with a nice list of literary looks at the sport of horse racing in its many forms. Whether you seek an immersive coffee table book or an examination of a moment in racing’s past, this list has something for the horse lover reader in your life.

Check out this year’s list of 11 titles ripe for gifting, with names like Man o’ War, Silver Charm, Stymie, and more in the mix of this year’s new titles.

It’s a racing highlight that equestrians and sporting art enthusiasts look forward to every year. Keeneland Association and Cross Gate Gallery continue their collaboration by offering the 13th annual Sporting Art Auction on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. ET at the Keeneland Sales Pavilion.

When the Breeders’ Cup lands in San Diego at Del Mar, it’s not just about the thunder of hooves or the photo finishes. It’s about fashion. Men’s fashion.

You weren’t expecting that were you? Well, I am a men’s fashion consultant.

Del Mar brings its own twist to this classic tradition of horse racing. This isn’t the formality of Ascot or the pomp of Churchill Downs. This is California cool meets racing royalty. It’s the salt air, the sunshine, and the sartorial statement that says: I came to win, and I dress like it.
