Andie Biancone participated for the first time in the Real Rider Cup July 11 at New Vocations at Mereworth Farm in Lexington, Ky., where the event founded by Anita Motion celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Biancone, an on-air television analyst, assistant trainer, and exercise rider, shared her Real Rider Cup experience with America’s Best Racing as she rode 12-year-old gelding Ultraslan. Biancone wore Winchell Thoroughbreds silks while competing for 1/ST Racing.
Defending champion Kristin VanMeter and Hardesty earned a repeat victory in the Real Rider Cup. Of course, fundraising remained at the heart of the evening, with the 2026 Lexington event generating more than $74,000 for Thoroughbred aftercare and pushing the Real Rider Cup’s lifetime total beyond $856,000.
