The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation will host its annual Fashionable Fillies Luncheon in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., at Saratoga National Golf Club on Monday, August 5, 2024.

The luncheon will honor the late Nancy C. Kelly and will welcome her sister, Fran, and nieces, Michelle and Lisa. Over the course of her 32-year career as the executive director of The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation, Nancy helped thousands of individuals in need, totaling nearly $16 million in assistance.

Enjoying highlights of the upcoming week in horse racing requires an international lens, as much of the top-class racing will be held overseas in England when the prestigious Royal Ascot meet begins its five-day run Tuesday, June 18.

An exciting 2024 Triple Crown season is in the books having generated robust betting handle and TV viewing numbers, and now horse racing turns to its early summer season highlighted by the start of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series as well as more stakes races for 3-year-olds as they continue to develop and prepare to take on their elders later this year.

Fans flocked to Saratoga Race Course June 8 for the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets.

Saratoga Springs, N.Y., resident Jack Knowlton came to national prominence when he and his Sackatoga Stable partners stepped off a yellow school bus at Churchill Downs and watched Funny Cide, their longshot New York-bred gelding, win the 2003 Kentucky Derby.
