Hernandez Jr. Named Keynote Speaker at Race For Grace Event Apr. 28

[Wandering Eyes]

Kentucky Derby and Oaks-winning jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. will be the Keynote Speaker at Race for Grace–hosted by the Kentucky Race Track Chaplaincy–to be held on Apr. 28 at Churchill Downs.

Held in a new space at Churchill's First Turn Club, the event will feature a silent and live auction including items such as 2026 Kentucky Derby and Oaks boxes and the Derby contender's halters, a Keeneland package, many golf packages, horse racing art and memorabilia as well as trips to Mexico, a Montana Cabin vacation.

In 2024, Hernandez became the ninth jockey in history, and the first since 2009, to win both the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby in the same year. He piloted Thorpedo Anna to victory in the Oaks and guided Mystik Dan to a memorable win in the Derby, both horses trained by Ken McPeek.
