Silver Charm, the oldest living Kentucky Derby winner, is enjoying a fulfilling retirement at Old Friends Farm at the age of 31. The horse, who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in 1997, continues to thrive in a serene environment dedicated to retired racehorses, showcasing the care and attention provided to these equine athletes after their racing careers.
Meanwhile, the Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino in New Mexico is gearing up for its annual spring and summer horse racing meet, running from May 23 to September 1. After disruptions from fires and flooding in 2024, the track is set to host a variety of quarter horse races, including trials for the Ruidoso Futurity and Derby, culminating in key events like the All American Futurity Finals on September 1.
Fans attending the races can enjoy various seating options, from open-air areas to covered grandstands, with ticket prices starting at $17. Free parking is available, and spectators can watch races without purchasing tickets in designated areas, although tickets will be required for the All American Futurity event.
