LEXINGTON, KY—The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program will host the 2024 T.I.P. Championships at Stable View in Aiken, S.C., on Oct. 24-27 after its postponement due to Hurricane Helene

The show welcomes hunter, jumper, English pleasure, dressage, combined test, Western pleasure, ranch riding, competitive trail, and in-hand competition. 

The in-hand classes will include classes designed to specifically celebrate horses that have started 50 or more times, have won more than $100,000 in earnings, and were adopted from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-accredited organizations or Thoroughbred Charities of America grantees. 

Six special awards will be given at each show recognizing the youngest, oldest, most recently raced, highest earning, highest sale price and most-raced Thoroughbred. 

The 2024 show is poised to welcome nearly 240 Thoroughbreds competing in 42 divisions. Each championship division will be awarded prizes and $2,000 in prize money with awards through 10th place. 

“We are excited Stable View is able to host the T.I.P. Championships at this later date,” T.I.P coordinator Kristin Werner said. “The successful transition of racehorses to sport horses is so important to the Thoroughbred industry as a whole and we believe that this show highlights the versatility of the breed and rewards those competitors who have chosen to ride a Thoroughbred.” 

A livestream of the 2024 T.I.P. Championships will be available through Horse & Country TV on Oct. 25-26, offering footage of the Mark Phillips Jumper Ring.
