Some of the events that will be featured in "Today in Thoroughbred Racing History" include significant races, memorable performances by horses and jockeys, milestones in the sport, as well as historical moments that have shaped the landscape of Thoroughbred racing.
By highlighting these historical events, the NTRA aims to educate and engage fans, as well as honour the rich history of the sport. Fans can follow along each day on the NTRA website and social media channels to discover new insights and trivia about Thoroughbred racing.
“As America's oldest sport, it's important to take a step back and always remember where we came from,” said NTRA President and CEO Tom Rooney. “Like so many other families involved in horse racing, the history of my family has been built in large part because of the events that happened in our sport, and that's something I have always reflected on. As we move through this exciting Triple Crown season, we as a sport have a lot to be optimistic about. Remembering these historical moments is a fun way to remember the traditions we are working to preserve for future generations.”
