The gala dinner of the Pan American Conference, presented by Longines at New York City's exclusive Cipriani 42nd Street, will be June 5 and proceeds will benefit the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.
The evening will feature the presentation of the Longines and International Federation of Horseracing Authorities International Award of Merit and a medley of sights and sounds of Broadway-style reviews.
"This annual event is a great way to celebrate the Thoroughbred and the vital equine research that Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation funds," said foundation chair Dell Hancock. "The celebration has taken on a special aura this year since we will have our international guests from the Pan Am Conference with us at such a unique and prestigious venue and since we will be watching American Pharoah attempt to win the Triple Crown the following day."
Tickets for the charity celebration are priced at $400 per person. Only a limited number of tickets are available and can be purchased online.
