RACE FOR GRACE...Where Your Derby Dreams Begin

Main Article Image

A Derby dream

 "When you ran, the ground shook, the sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, where you'll meet me in the Winner’s Circle, where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back." - A little girl's dream about her horse from the movie "Dreamer" 

The Kentucky Race Track Chaplaincy's ministry is focused on the “backside” of Kentucky’s race tracks where race horses are stabled and the needs are great.  In fact, the faith-based work done at the track is often described as the Backside Ministry. 

Our mission: To maintain a strong, effective chaplain ministry pointing all race track personnel to Jesus Christ by providing leadership, accountability, finances, volunteers and supervision to our chaplains; who serve the spiritual, physical and social needs of those on Kentucky’s thoroughbred race tracks and training centers.

Ray Lewis, Jr., a two-time Super Bowl champion linebacker with the Baltimore Ravens, will be the guest speaker at “Race for Grace,” the annual Derby-time fundraising dinner for the Kentucky Race Track Chaplaincy. The event is set for Monday, April 29, at 6 p.m., in Millionaire’s Row at Churchill Downs.

 

The legendary Lewis announced his retirement from football following the Ravens’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers in this year’s Super Bowl. The win capped a long string of professional football achievements for Lewis that includes being named multiple times as NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Associated Press All-Pro. 

 

Off the field, the Florida native is a devout Christian and heavily involved in charitable activities. He started the Ray Lewis 52 Foundation, a non profit corporation whose mission is to provide personal and economic asistance to disadvantaged youth.
