Bill > SR11

This resolution honors Kenny McPeek, a Lexington, Kentucky native and prominent Thoroughbred horse trainer, for his historic achievement of winning both the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby in 2024. The resolution highlights McPeek's background, including his early interest in horse racing due to his father's ownership of Thoroughbreds, his graduation from the University of Kentucky, and obtaining his trainer's license in 1985. It specifically recognizes his significant accomplishment of training Mystik Dan (Kentucky Derby winner) and Thorpedo Anna (Kentucky Oaks winner) in the 150th Run for the Roses, a feat that has only occurred four times in racing history and not since 1952. The resolution formally acknowledges McPeek's contributions to the horse racing industry and his status as one of the top trainers globally. It directs the Senate Clerk to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator Reginald Thomas for presentation to McPeek, and when the Senate adjourns, it does so in honor and recognition of McPeek's achievements and contributions to his fellow Kentuckians.
