We can't do this without you, and we never take that for granted. Everyone have a safe New Year's Eve/Day and see you at the races in 2026! (Gwen Davis/Davis Innovation graphic)

Horse racing is a large industry in the Sunshine State, worth well over $13 billion. Some experts, however, say the sport is at an inflection point. Damon Thayer, senior adviser of the Thoroughbred Racing Initiative, spoke with FOX 35's Garrett Wymer live via Zoom to talk about the future of horse r...

While so many of us have today and tomorrow off, we should never take for granted all our hard-working men and women who will be at the barn caring for our horses. Be safe everyone, and have a blessed holiday season.

Behind every racehorse are men and women who adore them, even if they may not be fast. These are Claiming Crown winners (📸Coady Media), but there's the same pride (OK similar, anyway) if they win for $10,000 vs. $100,000+. And regardless where they finish or at what level they competed, these are the men and women who go back to the barn and take care of their horses after a race. For this Thanksgiving: We salute the men and women of the backstretch who are working while we're feasting and betting horse racing & football. And let's all remember those behind the scenes working every holiday, every weekend to keep us safe: First responders & law enforcement, medical staff, the military. Let's don't appreciate them only on Thanksgiving but every day of the week!
