Well, it’s the time of year we’ve all been waiting for. The Breeders’ Cup “homecoming” to the horse capitol of the world is upon us. You’ll want to stay in the loop of the latest developments among the horses, connections and social scene at Keeneland. There’s no better app for that than Twitter. Here is a list of some entities and people that are worth a follow to make sure you don’t miss a beat!
Breeders’ Cup: @BreedersCup
It’s the official account for all things Breeders’ Cup. Keep tabs on not only the racing action, but also all the events and entertainment going on in Lexington in the week leading up to the big weekend!
America’s Best Racing: @ABRLive
We are a one-stop shop for all things racing, gambling, and fun. Plenty of creative and informative content and images will be shared in the month leading up to the Breeders’ Cup.
Keeneland: @keeneland
As the official host track, Keeneland’s Twitter account will keep you in the loop on developments around the track. They are an absolute must-follow if you plan to attend the races in person and a good resource even if you don’t.
Penelope Miller: @PenelopePMiller
Our Senior Manager of Digital Communications has a great photo eye, not only for horses, but I think she is the best in the business at capturing people having fun at the races. If you’re into people watching at the track, you’ll appreciate her photos in your feed.
Claire Novak: @BH_CNovak
Claire is a first-rate journalist for the Blood-Horse. She’ll have her finger on the pulse of the latest developments and plenty of great insight from owners, trainers and jockeys.
Barbara Livingston: @DRFLivingston
Barbara is a gift to the horse racing community. She is brilliant with a camera and shares her highlights through her Twitter feed. It’s always a treat when she posts an image.
Melissa Bauer-Herzog: @mbauerherzog
Melissa is another asset to the photo team at America’s Best Racing. She’ll have great shots of top equine talent throughout the week.
Justin Zayat: @JustinZayat
For those of you who want a behind-the-scenes look at American Pharoah as he prepares for his effort to complete the “grand slam” of horse racing, give Justin—the racing manager for Zayat Stables and son of Ahmed Zayat (American Pharaoh’s owner)—a follow.
Victor Espinoza: @EspinozasVictor
As American Pharaoh’s jockey, Victor provides some good old-fashioned humble humor on Twitter and funny insight in his encounters with the horse.
Spendthrift: @Spendthriftfarm
Spenthrift owns another Breeders’ Cup Classic contender, Beholder, who’s already won the Juvenile Fillies and Distaff. Give them a follow to join their journey to Keeneland with arguable the best female horse in training.
Michael Adolphson: @AdolphsonRacing
Michael works on the Breeders’ Cup notes team and is a sharp racing writer. He will be in and around the barns all week, and he’s never hesitant to share his thoughts on who looks good on-track.
Jay Privman: @DRFPrivman
As Breeder’s Cup correspondent for the Daily Racing Form, Jay provides world-class race analysis and opinions. He’s another great resource for Breeders' Cup insight.
Katie Gensler: @KatieGensler
Katie is the track analyst for Keeneland and has a knack for sharing a hot tip with her local inside scoop.
Team ABR: @TeamABRLive
The ABR Ambassadors will check in from our watch party at Del Mar. Be sure to tweet your Breeders’ Cup watch party photos to us. Whether it’s at Keeneland, at your local track, or at home, there’s no bad spot to watch the races.
CAM Hats NYC: @CAMHatsNYC
She’s our go-to for all things hats. Check out her latest designs for the event, as she posts pictures of her creations regularly.
