The board of directors of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has authorized $1,835,879 to fund 13 new projects and 13 continuing projects at 16 universities as well as three career development awards, according to a release from the Jockey Club on Wednesday.
The 2026 slate of research brings Grayson's totals since 1940 to more than $45.8 million to underwrite more than 466 projects at 50 universities.
“Grayson remains deeply committed to research that supports every horse, no matter the breed or discipline,” said Jamie Haydon, president of Grayson. “We're also thrilled to present this year's recipients of our career development awards, which have been increased to $30,000 per award thanks to the generosity of Lucy Hamilton and the Klein Family. We are also proud to sponsor an award this year in honor of the late Edward Bowen.”
