[Wandering Eyes]

Gulfstream Park will host the 10th annual Jockeys and Jeans event, a fundraiser for the PDJF, on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025.

“Gulfstream Park and 1/ST are pleased to host Jockeys and Jeans during our Championship Meet, and we're proud to partner as we work together to advance and promote the welfare and security of jockeys and riders during and after their careers,” said President of Racing and Business Development for 1/ST Racing Stephen Screnci.

Jockeys and Jeans, which to date has raised over $3.4m and brought in $425,000 last year alone, will include an autograph signing session for the local jockey colony during Gulfstream's Championship meet.

“The event date is prime time for the track's Winter Championship Season that features Pegasus World Cup Day and the Florida Derby,” said Dr. Eddie Donnally, Jockeys and Jeans Interim President. “The track is the winter home of several Hall of Fame Jockeys and arguably the most talented riding colony in the nation. We expect to attract at least 15 retired Hall of Fame and legendary jockeys there to honor several of their fallen brother and sister jockeys. The committee and I are confident it will be a well-attended and successful fundraiser.”

Early Bird Tickets are $100 with each attendee receiving a buffet luncheon, a poster signed by the Hall of Fame and other legendary jockeys attending and the opportunity to mix and mingle with famous jockeys. Tickets are available for purchase here.
