Please join Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day as he presents the 2010 White Horse Award to Daniel Orantes.  Orantes, a groom on the backside, demonstrated heroism by helping Calixtro de Jesus, a partially paralyzes exercise rider, with rehabilitation and medical expenses.

There will also be a special tribute to the late Bill Howard, a Louisville-based businessman and philanthropist, whose family will receive the Community Service Award on Howard’s behalf. Co-founder and CEO of Mercer Transportation, Howard had significant impact in racetrack ministry, primarily with the construction of Christ Chapel at Churchill Downs.

Additionally, a special tribute to the late Dick Broadbent, founder of Bloodstock Research Information Systems, is planned.  Broadbent is also known for his work with the Christian Word Ministries.

A silent auction will feature racing memorabilia of racing legends, Rachel Alexandra, Zenyatta, Barbaro, and Secretariat, alongside halters worn by Breeders’ Cup Classic contenders.
