Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 5, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 5, 2019 The winner of the $700,000 GIII Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint, which is a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” event, Sept. 7 will have a shot at an additional $1 million is that horse goes on to win Keeneland’s Oct. 5 GIII Woodford S. and the Nov. 2 GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. “The bonus was Ron Winchell’s idea,” said Ted Nicholson, Kentucky Downs’ Senior Vice President and General Manager. “Getting our first Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’ race is a very big deal. Ron wanted Kentucky Downs to do something to show how important this race is to us and our appreciation for being selected. The bonus also emphasizes and promotes Kentucky racing overall by tying it into Keeneland’s Oct. 5 Woodford and brings international attention to horse racing’s fastest growing and exciting division–turf sprinters.” The post KY Downs Offers Turf Sprint Bonus Opportunity appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
