Beshear's passion for horses led her to start the event in association with KCP. Today, they are joined by the Pink Stable, a committee of the commonwealth horse owners, riders, trainers, farm owners, jockeys and others. Throughout the year, Horses and Hope hold race days and events to provide breast cancer education and mammography screening to horse industry workers and their families. The events are not only held at the Downs, but also at Ellis Park, Keeneland and Turfway Park. On Monday, Nov. 12, 2012, KCP will deliver those services to the backside employees of Churchill Downs. Maribel Gonzales just transferred to Churchill Downs with her husband, Darío García, and as new members of the backside community, they are already aware of Horses and Hope. "There are women who don't even know what they have until it's too late," García said. "They need to be more open to receive the help." On Nov. 12, Gonzales plans to attend. "It's a good event, I just got here, but it's important," she said.
