Kentucky’s Equine Industry Still Needs Your Help!

February 2, 2021

To our loyal horsemen, partners, employees and fans,

Thanks to so many of you who reached out to your Kentucky legislative representative in support of Keeneland and Kentucky’s horse industry. We have been overwhelmed with the response; however, we still need your help.

Earlier today, SB 120, which protects historical horse racing (HHR) in Kentucky, was introduced in the Kentucky General Assembly.

Historical horse racing fuels Kentucky’s signature horse industry, strengthens purse money for racing, provides valuable jobs and generates millions in tax revenue to benefit investments across the Commonwealth. A recent ruling by the Kentucky Supreme Court has put historical horse racing and Kentucky’s equine industry in jeopardy.

The time is now to help our efforts by contacting your representatives in the Kentucky legislature and urging them to pass SB 120. Your voice is critical to ensure historical horse racing continues in Kentucky and to protect much-needed jobs and investment.

HERE'S HOW TO HELP

  1. Contact your Kentucky legislative representatives by clicking this link.
  2. Let them know how important HHR is to Kentucky and to protecting valuable jobs and our signature horse industry.
  3. Ask them to pass SB 120 to allow HHR facilities to continue operations.

Keeneland is grateful for your support and action in saving historical horse racing.
