Thoroughbred Charities of America has been named the charitable beneficiary of a Kentucky Derby handicapping event, presented by In the Money, to be held at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Ky. on Thursday, May 4 from 7 - 9 p.m. ET.
Professional handicappers Peter Fornatale, Jonathon Kinchen, and Maggie Wolfendale-Morley will take a deep dive into the analysis of the 2023 Kentucky Oaks and Derby starters as well as explore some of the best bets in some of the other races at Churchill Downs.
Tickets may be purchased here and will include admission to the event as well as food and beverage.
"TCA is honored to be selected as the charitable beneficiary for this exciting Derby week event," said Erin Halliwell executive director of TCA. "We look forward to hearing from Peter, Jonathon, and Maggie about the field of runners in the Oaks and Derby, while raising money for TCA's approved grant recipients working in Thoroughbred aftercare and health and human services for backstretch and farm employees. We appreciate the Galt House's support of TCA."
