About This Event
Fayette Alliance and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Foundation invite you to celebrate a milestone year—the 20th anniversary of the Bluegrass International Cup—highlighting Lexington's world-class farms, city, and healthcare on Friday, September 11, 2026.
Guests will enjoy an exhilarating high-goal polo match, paired with exquisite food, live music, and dancing on the scenic grounds of Mt. Brilliant Farm, a premier equine estate that exemplifies why Lexington is known as the "Horse Capital of the World."
With Keeneland as the title sponsor, the Bluegrass International Cup takes place the Friday before the Keeneland September Yearling Sales, the world's largest and most prestigious Thoroughbred racing sale. Proceeds from the event support the Fayette Alliance Foundation and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Foundation, advancing sustainable growth and cancer research in Lexington, KY.
