Episode 9: The Long Way Home: Christon Jacksons Next Gen Path

Christon Jackson is a rising figure in the Thoroughbred industry whose journey is rooted in a deep, lifelong connection to horses. Originally from the Lexington area, Christon grew up surrounded by Arabians and Saddlebreds on his family farm. Although the farm was eventually sold, the passion never left. In 2020, a single opportunity — working the Fasig-Tipton Night of the Stars sale with Taylor Made — reignited that spark and set Christon on a path in the Thoroughbred world. Since then, he’s pursued hands-on experience with operations like going to Australia, and now with Todd Pletcher Racing. He’s also served in key roles at Taylor Made, including Assistant Sales Recruiter and, now, Buyer Liaison. Christon is also a partner in First Rodeo Racing, and continues to help shape the future of the sport through both his professional work and his presence on the ground during major meets like Saratoga.
