Amplify Horse Racing, the national organization connecting youth to the Thoroughbred industry, closed out its 2025 season of outreach with a busy week in November. Amplify began the week by welcoming over 75 students and 4-H leaders from 11 different states participating in the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup to a Thoroughbred Industry Discovery Day at Keeneland. Students heard from industry professionals about racehorse training and equine safety, explored the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, and joined a lunchtime career activity that connected them directly with mentors and employers in the industry. Amplify then presented its signature Mentorship Program at the National Farmers Union Women's Conference, highlighting the importance of mentorship in connecting young people with agricultural education and industry careers. And it hosted five mentees from across the country for an immersive day of learning in Kentucky, made possible through the support of Glen Hill Farm. Their day included touring the Keeneland sales grounds and learning how to evaluate horses alongside industry professionals, visiting Godolphin's Jonabell Farm, and touring the Keeneland Library before concluding with Amplify's annual end-of-year student networking event. Amplify conducted a field trip to Godolphin's Gainsborough Farm for 40 students from the Walden School in Louisville, and capped off the week by exhibiting at the Fayette County Public Schools Career Expo at Tates Creek High School. “Our goal has always been to meet youth where they are, in their schools, communities, and online, and show them that there's a place for them in this industry,” said Annise Montplaisir, Amplify's Executive Director and Co-Founder. “This type of transformative programming doesn't happen without the collaboration and generosity of industry partners and donors. The financial support we receive directly fuels our ability to reach youth who might otherwise never discover this incredible industry. As we look toward 2026, we invite everyone who believes in the future of horse racing to join us in this mission.” In 2026, Amplify plans to build on the success of this year's programs with the debut of a new high school curriculum. Aligned with the National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes (NALOs), Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and Career and Technical Education (CTE) Standards, the curriculum will provide teachers with ready-to-use lessons and hands-on activities that bring the world of Thoroughbred racing to the classroom.

Brilliant Irish Champion Stakes winner Economics will embark on his stallion career in India after being sold to Poonawalla Stud, bloodstock agent Ajay Anne has confirmed. Trained by William Haggas, Economics took the scalp of Auguste Rodin in that memorable Leopardstown tussle last year. He also won the Dante Stakes in breathtaking fashion earlier on in his three-year-old campaign. The son of Night Of Thunder will join fellow imports Territories, Mutasaabeq and Chindit on the roster at Poonawalla Stud. Anne commented, “Mr Zavaray Poonawalla has a big ambition of improving the breeding stock in India. They have been breeding horses for half a century and have stood some very good stallions and recently purchased Territories last year. “This year, Mr Poonawalla was looking to buy a stallion from off the track, and Economics is one of the highest-profile horses that has gone to India in my memory. A winner of the Irish Champion Stakes and by a very hot sire in Night Of Thunder, he is also an extremely good-looking horse. He looks just like his father – is just a bigger model and he is out of dual Group 2 winner in La Pomme D'Amour (Peintre Celebre). I think we are very lucky to get a stallion like him.” Anne added, “Mr Poonawalla wants to buy mares who can be commercial in any part of the world. Likewise, he wants to buy stallions who have international appeal. We went with a proven horse last year in Territories and this year we wanted to buy a horse from off the track. “It wasn't easy, because a horse like Economics is always going to have a big appeal internationally, but I have to say thank you to Sheikh Isa Salman Al Khalifa for giving us the opportunity. Likewise, his racing manager Jake Warren, who was very helpful in brokering the deal. Obviously, Mr Poonawalla himself was very enthusiastic about getting the deal done fairly quickly, so thank you to him as well. He is a very exciting addition to the stallion ranks in India.” All told, Economics won four of his seven starts and amassed close to £1 million in career earnings. He reached a career-high rating of 123.
