Thoroughbred Owner Conference to be Held Breeders’ Cup Week

[Wandering Eyes]

The fifth Thoroughbred Owner Conference will be held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., from Tuesday, Oct. 30, through Thursday, Nov. 1, OwnerView announced Tuesday. As with the past two conferences, the conference will coincide with the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, which are scheduled to be held November 2-3 at Churchill Downs.

The goal of the Thoroughbred Owner Conference is to educate, inform, and entertain new, prospective, and current Thoroughbred owners through a series of panels and social events. At this year’s conference, panels will include discussions pertaining to buying Thoroughbreds at public auction, state incentive programs, international racing experiences, veterinary issues, and aftercare.

“We are thrilled to bring the Thoroughbred Owner Conference to the home of the Kentucky Derby for the first time, and we are thankful to Churchill Downs for their support of this initiative,” said Gary Falter, project manager for OwnerView. “Feedback from attendees has shown that prior conferences have effectively engaged and educated new and prospective Thoroughbred owners, and we look forward to continuing that trend in Louisville.”
