The Belmont Bash, hosted by the New York Racing Association, and The Jockey Club, will be held June 4 at The Clubhouse at Meadowbrook Pointe in Westbury, N.Y.
Tickets are $250 per person and proceeds will benefit Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation and the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, New York Division.
The Bash will feature cocktails, dinner, a charity casino, and musical entertainment by the Faze 4 Orchestra.
“Raising funds to benefit our sport’s equine and human participants is a fitting prelude to the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes two days later,” said Charles Hayward, NYRA president and CEO. “We are proud to support Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation’s efforts in the field of equine medical research as well as efforts by the New York division of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America to minister to the needs of the hard-working families on the backstretch at NYRA racetracks.”
