The Ridgmont Magic Millions Private Dinner has become the unofficial kick-off for Magic Millions, setting the tone for an unforgettable week of world-class racing and celebrations. Each year, the prestigious broodmare farm, Ridgmont, invites an exclusive guest list to their family home to kick off the festivities in style—and this year was nothing short of spectacular.
With the event growing in scale and creativity each year, anticipation was high for the signature “Gloments” that make every Ridgmont soirée truly one-of-a-kind. Guests were kept on their toes, wondering if they’d be tapped to perform by the ever-charismatic host, Lorilie. It’s this blend of tradition and unexpected fun that keeps Ridgmont’s biggest clients, trainers, and racing royalty coming back for more.
For this year’s dinner, we drew inspiration from Ridgmont’s iconic blue and yellow silks, transforming the rooftop at Main Beach into a dreamy Capri-styled paradise. Think cascading lemons, Mediterranean charm, and a coastal vibe that left guests feeling as if they’d been transported straight to the Amalfi Coast. (Yes, we may have cleared out the local fruit store to pull it off!)
From sunset canapés to a breathtaking three-course dinner, every detail was designed to foster connection, celebration, and a touch of spontaneity. And the surprises didn’t stop there—guest performances brought the house down, and the dance floor buzzed with energy well into the night. Let’s just say, it’s a miracle no one ended up in the pool. An evening celebrating family, loyalty, partnership, and Ridgmont’s enduring legacy — now that’s a Glo event to remember.
