The mission

What this organization describes

Advancing research to enhance the health and soundness of horses of all breeds

The forerunner of today's Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation was the Grayson Foundation, established in 1940. From the beginning, the Foundation's aim was to support research at existing institutions rather than carry out the research itself. The Jockey Club, which has served as the North American Thoroughbred breed registry since 1894, created its own research Foundation in 1984. Five years later, The Jockey Club Research Foundation was merged with the Grayson Foundation, to be known since then as the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. In recent years the combined Foundation has been able to allocate more than $750,000 annually in grants. Grayson-Jockey Club is a leading source of private funding of veterinary research specifically to benefit horses. Since 1983, the Foundation has provided $24.8 million to fund 346 projects at 43 universities (through 2017).
