The Jockey Club and Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation have announced that the eighth Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit will be held June 27, 2018, in Lexington, Kentucky.

The summit, which brings together a cross-section of the breeding, racing and veterinary communities, again will be underwritten and coordinated by The Jockey Club and Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation and hosted by the Keeneland Association.

The first summit was held in October 2006. Subsequent editions were held in March 2008, June 2010, October 2012, July 2014, July 2015, and July 2016.

Bowen, president of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. “The 2018 summit will not only update the industry on these efforts but will also delve into new projects and subjects of interest for anyone involved in the Thoroughbred industry
