Behind the Scenes of Starlight Racing with Dodge Ram

The official truck of the Kentucky Derby released this series of behind-the-scenes glimpses at the racing industry with Starlight Racing back in 2014 — they’re just as relevant now!

We might only see two minutes of heart-pounding excitement while watching a major horse race; perhaps our only interactions with Thoroughbreds are of the off-track variety. There’s a whole world of horsemanship behind the scenes of Thoroughbred racing that most of the horse-loving public will never see, and Dodge took an opportunity to tell some of that story in a four-part video series that first premiered in 2014. We’re still loving them now!
