The challenge will culminate on Breeders Crown weekend, set for October 30 and 31.Funds for the Breeders Crown Charity Challenge will be generated by donations from major Standardbred breeding and racing partnerships through a Glamour Boy Challenge in the 3-year-old pacing colt division, in which the partnerships will donate 1% of their horse earnings through November 1. The additional funds will be raised through the donation of a 2021 breeding to several of the industry’s top stallions at the 2020 Lexington Yearling Sale on Tuesday, October 6 at 6:45 p.m.Harrah’s Hoosier Park and Libfeld-Katz are partnering with the four Indiana celebrities to raise funds for their respective charities, and the challenge will be centered around a Facebook poll and social engagement.
