    • The New York Racing Association (NYRA) will continue its tradition of honoring police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) during First Responders Day Thursday, July 24 at Saratoga, the organization announced Friday. As thanks for their dedication and service to their community, the day will feature free admission for all first responders and a named race in their honor. Special recognition will be given to three members of the Saratoga Springs Police Department and other individuals who were instrumental in the rescue of 'Sly', a 22-year-old quarter horse who fell through the ice on a pond this past February. Officers Kyle Clinton, Kris Camarro, and Dominic Martuscello will be honored for their intervention efforts in the winner's enclosure during a special ceremony. Aly's owner will also be recognized and Sly himself will be in attendance to greet fans and take photos at Horse Sense from 2-4:00 p.m. The New York State Troopers Pipes and Drums band–the first police pipe band to organize in the U.S.–will perform trackside following the third and fifth races. The New York State Troopers Pipes and Drums will be supplemented by an appearance from the New York Police Department (NYPD) Ceremonial Unit, which conducts hundreds of ceremonies each year in honor of police officers in New York and across the U.S. Saratoga Springs first responder t-shirts commemorating the city's police and fire departments will also be available for purchase, while supplies last. Each shirt costs $20 and all net proceeds will benefit the respective organizations' charitable foundations. For more information and to see a list of the foundations, please go here.

    • Eleven months after her retirement from racing, Mel's Baby Sister made a return to Saratoga to collect her Down Broadway Award as New York's Retired Racehorse of the Year as decided by the voting public via an online poll. The prize is named in honor of the first horse to retire though the Take The Lead program back in 2013. Mel's Baby Sister race in the colors of August Dawn Farm and was trained by Melanie Giddings to a lone career victory before ultimately retiring after two unplaced efforts during the Saratoga Summer meet. Giddings joined the new owners, the Richardson Family from New Jersey, in the winner's enclosure. “She was such a spunky personality to train on the track, but she was a total sweetheart in the barn,” Giddings said. “I mean, everybody really, really loved to be around her. It's so good to see how happy she is.” “She is just a kind soul,” Kendra Richardson said about the 4-year-old grey filly. “She is going to be part of the Retired Racehorse Project. It's so important to raise awareness that these horses have so much potential beyond the racetrack.” The post Mel’s Baby Sister Crowned Retired Racehorse of the Year appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
