Second Stride’s Champion’s Night, hosted by Second Stride, was held at the iconic Valhalla Golf Club, bringing together guests for an evening supporting transitioning Thoroughbred racehorses. The night featured bourbon and wine tastings, Kentucky-inspired fare, guest speakers from the racing industry, and both live and silent auctions. The program included panels and Q&A sessions moderated by former jockey and NBC racing reporter Donna Brothers, along with opportunities to meet ambassador horses on-site, including a former Triple Crown contender. All proceeds benefited the Thoroughbred athletes in Second Stride’s care.
