The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has launched the Kentucky Initiative and announced that Hallway Feeds, Hinkle Farms, the Keeneland Association, and Reynolds Bell Thoroughbred Services have joined the initiative as founding partners, supporting it at $10,000 each. The Kentucky Initiative is dedicated to building on traditional support throughout Kentucky for research to advance equine health and welfare.
The Kentucky Initiative is based on the model of the Ocala Initiative, through which the foundation received support to fund an equine medical research project.
“Kentucky is the center of the world for all things equine,” said Dell Hancock, chairman of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. “This initiative is designed to give those in the equine business additional opportunity to give back to the horses that give so much.”
