LEXINGTON, KY–AUGUST 20, 2025–The Race Track Chaplaincy of America (RTCA) is now accepting nominations for the 2025 White Horse Award, an honor that recognizes the quiet heroes of horse racing — individuals whose courage, selflessness, and compassion make a lasting impact on both humans and horses.

The White Horse Award shines a spotlight on those whose actions often go unnoticed but are truly remarkable. These are the people who save lives, step in during critical moments, and inspire others through their bravery and generosity.

The 2025 White Horse Award winner will be celebrated with a special video presentation during the RTCA’s Night of Faith, Hope & Love on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at Del Mar in Del Mar, California. The event takes place just days before the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, making it one of the highlights of the season.

Nominations must be submitted by Monday, August 25, 2025.
