Edited Press Release
October 15, 2024 – Lexington, KY — The 2024 Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) Thoroughbred Makeover, held last week at the Kentucky Horse Park, saw over 300 retired Thoroughbreds competing across ten disciplines. With Claiborne Farm and Lane’s End Farm co-sponsoring, the Broodmare Division returned for its second official year, offering $10,000 in prize money and showcasing the post-breeding potential of these remarkable mares.
Egoli, an eight-year-old daughter of Quality Road, shone in the Broodmare Division, particularly in barrel racing, where she not only claimed first place among broodmares but also posted the fastest time of any competitor—retired racehorses included. Her performance underscores the versatility of broodmares, proving they can excel in competitive disciplines beyond breeding.
“Egoli’s success at the 2024 Makeover demonstrates the vast, untapped potential broodmares possess beyond the breeding shed,” said Kyle Rothfus, President and Co-Founder of Mareworthy Charities. “We’re proud to be part of this movement, showcasing how mares can thrive in second or even third careers.”
