The Kentucky Race Track Chaplaincy will celebrate 50 years of racetrack ministry May 2 at the Louisville-based track with its annual Race for Grace banquet. It is the primary fundraiser for the organization and the money generated allows the Chaplaincy to continue their mission to minister to the fundamental and spiritual needs of the horsemen and women working at the racetracks and training centers in Kentucky and Southern Ohio. With over 7,000 licensees and three chaplains across five tracks, the group serves the stable workers, jockeys, starting gate crew, and track staff, ensuring a family church and a home away from home as well as providing critical basic needs like clothing and a food bank. There are also women and children's ministries, transportation to off-track appointments and moral support provided where needed.

“I had many wonderful experiences during my 32 years as a thoroughbred jockey but my work with the chaplaincy is decidedly more rewarding and fulfilling,” said Hall of Famer and Kentucky Derby winner Pat Day, who will also serve as the Master of Ceremonies. “Thank you sponsors, partners, and supporters from every corner of this ministry. God bless!”

The event will run from 6:00-9:00 p.m. and will include a live auction featuring Keeneland's Director of Auctioneers Ryan Mahan. Items will include six seat boxes for the 2023 Kentucky Derby and Oaks, leather halters from 2022 Kentucky Derby entries, and a silent auction with horse racing art and memorabilia.
