atherine Pratt and Clarence Theobald IV were each off to the races in Los Angeles for the 2013 Breeders Cup World Championship when something more exciting than magnificent thoroughbreds galloped into their lives: each other. The two, whose lives were both intertwined with horses, met at the event kick-off party beneath the glow of twinkling purple lights strung among the trees. It was love at first sight. While once again attending the annual favorite Breeders Cup World Championship Kick-off party, “Jay” proposed to Kate beside the ocean. They were surrounded by family and friends. The couple was married at the Greenfield Hill Congregational Church in Fairfield. A lively reception immediately followed at the bride’s childhood home in Greenfield Hill. Kate is the daughter of Dawn and Bradford Pratt of Fairfield. She graduated from Miami University with a bachelor of arts degree in English and currently works as a director of marketing partnerships at Madison Square Garden Company. She was on the 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30 for sports. Jay is the son of Victoria and Clarence III (Bud) of Louisville, Kentucky. He graduated from the University of Kentucky with a bachelor of science and bachelor of arts with honors degrees in political science and marketing before earning an MBA from the University of Louisville. He currently works as Head of America’s Sales for Signal AI and is also a cofounder of the Bluegrass Bowtie Company. The couple honeymooned in the South of France before returning home to New York City. —Joey Macari »
