NTRA Statement on the Passing of Alice Chandler
“Alice Chandler devoted nearly a century to the horse and epitomized all that has come to represent a National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame Pillar of the Turf inductee (2020) and an Eclipse Award of Merit honoree (2009). She grew up at Keeneland, which her father co-founded and which became her life’s passion. She founded Mill Ridge Farm, where for nearly 60 years she bred, raised and sold Thoroughbreds who went on to be crowned Champions on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. She served on numerous boards and foundations dedicated to the betterment of Thoroughbred breeding and racing. And she leaves behind a distinguished family that guarantees that her legacy and influence on the sport will continue for generations to come.”
