    • The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance's third annual Holiday Giving Campaign will begin Dec. 1 and continue through the month of December. The campaign is designed to increase awareness for accredited organizations engaged in ensuring a quality life for equine athletes once their racing days are through. Last year's campaigned raised better than $200,000 for accredited aftercare. “Our accredited aftercare organizations continue to make a profound difference in the lives of retired racehorses, providing them with the care and futures they deserve,” said Jeffrey Bloom, President, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “Each donation to the holiday campaign supports the necessary work of 83 accredited organizations across the nation. During the season of giving, we deeply appreciate your support, which helps ensure the welfare of these wonderful Thoroughbreds.” Throughout the campaign, the TAA will announce daily match sponsors who will match all donations up to a specified amount for the given day. “We choose to support Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance this holiday season and in the future because of the necessary work they do in providing grants for their accredited aftercare organizations,” said Dan Piazza. “Our Thoroughbreds deserve and require our support beyond the racetrack and into their second careers.” Beginning Dec. 1, individuals wishing to participate in the campaign can go to the TAA website to make their donation. Through Dec. 31, donations of $50 or more will receive a free calendar while supplies last. “We are so grateful for the support we've received during our Holiday Giving Campaigns and are excited to build on the growth we see each year to raise even more funds for our accredited organizations and the Thoroughbreds they care for,” said Emily Dresen, Director of Fundraising & Events, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “It's inspiring to witness the collective effort from our industry to support our equine athletes during this season of giving.” Click here for additional information.

    • The Backside Learning Center (BLC)–an independent non-profit organization providing support and resources for the diverse community of racetrack workers and their families–will hold its annual fundraiser, “Benefit for the Backside: A Day at the Races Celebrating the BLC's 20th Anniversary,” Friday, Nov. 22 at Churchill Downs at noon. The public can participate online to purchase raffle tickets and bid on silent auction items. Information and specifics can be found on benefitforthebackside.com. This will be the second year the event will be held at the Churchill Downs' First Turn Club–a, spacious, state of the art indoor-outdoor pavilion on the first turn of the racetrack. All money raised through this annual event goes directly toward programming, resources and costs associated with the work of the BLC. “This event is a great and fun opportunity to gather those who believe in our mission, and who want to support those who play such a vital role in the success of the horseracing industry,” said Executive Director Sherry Stanley. “The Backside is such a vibrant and diverse community right in the heart of the city that most people never think about. We serve the hundreds of workers and their children who are members of our community and who will soon be our next generation of leaders.” The post Backside Learning Center Fundraiser to be Held at Churchill Downs Friday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Owen Burrows is renowned for his Sir Michael Stoute-like patience with the yard's leading prospects, but he may not have to wait as long as usual with his exciting new recruit Falakeyah (GB) (New Bay {GB}–Alaflaak, by War Front) lighting up a dour Thursday afternoon at Wolverhampton. A granddaughter of the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine Lahudood (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) from the family of the stable's luminary Hukum (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and his brilliant full-brother Baaeed (GB), Shadwell's blueblood was a warm order at even-money for the first division of the extended mile maiden. Quickly making up for a tardy start to travel easily in mid-division for Jim Crowley, the February-foaled bay cruised to the fore approaching the furlong pole with the motor still idling before being shaken up to assert her superiority. Hitting the line with 5 1/2 lengths to spare over Life Is Rosie (GB) (Lightning Spear {GB}), she became the third TDN Rising Star for her sire whose others Alcantor (Fr) and New Energy (Ire) proved group 1 performers. “The hardest thing was pulling her up–she wanted to go round again! She did it very professionally,” Crowley said. “She's a forward-going filly and, mentally, the more racing the better she'll be. It looks like we'll have a bit of fun with her next year.” The post Shadwell Blueblood A New TDN Rising Star For New Bay appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
