AIKEN, S.C.—The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Championships return Thursday, October 25, after being postponed due to Hurricane Helene. Thursday’s schedule will feature dressage, a mounted and in-hand competitive obstacle trail course, and several fun classes.
The championships are being held at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina, and continue through Sunday, October 27. The virtual program and the schedule for the 2024 T.I.P. Championships can be found at tjctip.com/About/CSF.
This year’s event has attracted more than 200 Thoroughbreds that will be competing in classes covering nine disciplines.
