A record 794 trainers have been accepted to compete for their share of $100,000 in prize money at the 2018 Thoroughbred Makeover, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of America and held Oct. 4-7 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, it was announced Thursday. This marks a 37% increase in participation from 2017.
“The feedback on applicants from the selection committee was overwhelmingly positive, and we're thrilled to welcome another class of quality trainers to this special community we've created,” said Kirsten Green, RRP's director of operations. “Over the coming months, each of these 794 talented trainers will invest hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in the future of their chosen horses. When you add all that up, that's a pretty remarkable impact on the value of these horses.”
More information, including a list of accepted trainers, can be found on the event's newly launched website, tbmakeover.org.
