ABOUT

AMPLIFYING EDUCATION & CAREERS

A human and equine athlete striving towards victory together is a captivating image, with the jockey leaning over their horse’s neck, and the two moving in perfect unison. One of the most famous races in history was a match race between bay underdog Seabiscuit and imposing Triple Crown winner War Admiral. Nearly 40,000 people watched the race live at Pimlico Race Course in Maryland, and another 40 million listened on the radio. The roar in the grandstand must have been deafening, as were the cheers resounding from families listening in their homes.

Whether you’ve never seen a live horse race or you’re a seasoned professional of the Thoroughbred industry, we are all drawn together by a love of the horse. Even more special about horse racing is that you are not restricted to sitting in the stands as an observer. You can work hands-on with the athletes – raise them from birth, send them to be “recruited” to a racing team, train to become a professional, and watch them strengthen and improve through each race.

Amplify Horse Racing is a 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to ‘amplifying’ Thoroughbred industry education, mentorship and career opportunities for youth and young adults. Amplify welcomes newcomers, collaborates with existing educational initiatives, and creates new resources to lead the Thoroughbred industry into the future. Because Thoroughbred racing is not just a sport of kings… it is a sport for everyone!
