Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation announced today that Hagyard Equine Medical Institute will again sponsor a fall racing preview at AZUR Restaurant & Patio in Lexington, Ky., on Thursday, October 3, from 6 – 9 p.m. The event will be hosted by international racing broadcaster Nick Luck.
Tickets are available for $50 each and include hors d'oeuvres and two drink tickets. All proceeds from the event will benefit Grayson. Due to space constraints, the event will be limited to 50 guests.
At the Fall Racing Preview presented by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, Luck will interview expert handicappers and the connections of horses entered to compete the following weekend in races across the country. From October 5 – 7, 15 “Win and You’re In” races for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships will be held at Belmont Park, Keeneland, and Santa Anita Park.
“We are proud to sponsor this event to benefit Grayson for the second straight year and appreciate Grayson’s commitment to funding research that aids all horses,” said Dr. Luke Fallon of Hagyard Equine Medical Institute.
“Last year’s fall racing preview was a huge success, and we are thankful for Hagyard’s continued support in enabling us to raise money for equine research,” said Jamie Haydon, president of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. “I look forward to an enjoyable evening highlighted by insightful handicapping tips in advance of a top-class weekend of racing across the country.”
