Welcome to Bethlehem Farm & the Center for Women in Racing

A place where broken lives and broken horses meet to find rest for the weary, hope for the hopeless and love for the broken hearted.

The Mission of Bethlehem Farm and the Center for Women in Racing is to provide a place of healing for women in the racing industry who struggle with physical, emotional and spiritual problems.

Special Events..."A Silk Scarf Affair"

The Center for Women in Racing is pleased to partner with the Kentucky Horse Park for the opening event at the new Indoor Arena January 16-17, 2010, with the Circle of Champions: A John Lyons Symposium. Featuring the world renowned horse whisperer, Mr. Lyons will focus on training tips for various horses and disciplines representing the breeds shown during the 2010 World Equestrian Games. On Saturday evening, January 16, a gala dinner "A Silk Scarf Affair" will be held to honor Jane Beshear, First Lady of the Commonwealth, for her support of the women and horses of Kentucky. Official Kentucky Derby silk scarves will be available for donors contributing $250 per ticket for the evening. General seating is available for $125 per ticket which includes a reception and dinner. For tickets and further information on the weekend activities, please contact the Center for Women in Racing at (859)987-2258.

We are pleased to announce that the Official Kentucky Derby scarves are now available as gifts for suggested donations to Bethlehem Farm, Inc., for the purpose of raising money and awareness for the Center for Women in Racing. These exquisite scarves, manufactured in Como, Italy, were donated by Churchill Downs and Judy Starr this Fall and are available in time for 2009 charitable contributions. Please see the Kentucky Derby Scarves section to acquire a scarf in time for a special person on your Christmas list...
