Editor’s Note:

It is not easy producing night time racing in the winter time. It takes guts. It gets little glory. And, it takes it from both the horses and the people who give their all to do what they do best — race to the finish line.

The 2024-2025 meet at Turfway Park is closing with a rush, with the biggest race of the meet — the G3 Jeff Ruby Steaks — on the horizon and just 7 days away.

And, it is time to get a look at some of the grit and grind that makes the guts and the little glory at the new and improved Turfway Park sparkle as the best winter racetrack in all of North America.

Here’s a few looks from our great friends at Coady Media:
