The Jockeys Dinner and Awards will be held from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM CT. in the fourth floor clubhouse, followed by a meet-and-greet from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM CT. The meet-and-greet is open to the public and offers fans a rare opportunity to interact with the jockeys during the Fair Grounds meeting.
The newly established Leadership and Sportsmanship Award will be presented on this evening.

During the dinner, Fair Grounds will recognize several on-track achievements, including last year’s leading rider, midpoint meet stats and student riders, celebrating the future of the sport.
Tickets for the meet-and-greet are $10 and include admission for two adults. Children up to 12 years old have free admission.
