A public celebration of Helen “Penny” Chenery's life will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9, at the Keeneland Sales Pavilion in Lexington, the Tweedy family announced Monday. Friends of the late “First Lady of Thoroughbred Racing” will reminisce and honor her contributions to the sport. All are invited to attend.
“One of mom's great passions was to strengthen the sport of Thoroughbred racing,” Chenery's daughter Kate Tweedy said. “It is only fitting that we would remember her by going to beautiful Keeneland, where Riva Ridge set the stage for Meadow Stable's Triple Crown hopes when he won the 1972 Blue Grass Stakes.”
In lie of flowers, the Secretariat Foundation is offering special Penny Chenery Memorial fundraising projects on behalf of selected equine-related charities. For details, click here.
