    • Which club are on the rise these days? All sport appears to be suffering.
    • HB Guineas looks a bit light Hesi, but the Sprint and the G1 look good competitive races. I'm picking a big day out for @Chief Stipe heroes seeing as its at Te Rapa , they are due.
    • Good to see him thinking about NZ racing in general .... LMAO!
    • When Sallyellen Hurst, Sally Eck and Robin Coblyn realized that years of memorabilia kept in Pimlico storage rooms would be discarded in the destruction of racetrack, they formed what they called the Pimlico Preservation Project to put those items to good use. “We managed to get into Pimlico after Preakness and cleared out items from many storage rooms destined for the dumpsters,” said Hurst, who works at Country Life Farm. “Everything from trophies to silks, boxes of Preakness glasses of various years, assorted jackets, posters and more. We even have `Kegasus.'” The group began offering the items in exchange for donations in order to raise money for Thoroughbred aftercare. Eventually, they staged a live donation site, setting up a table at Timonium during racing. “With word of mouth, and a couple of mentions on Horse Racing Radio Network and Jason Beem's podcast,” Hurst said, “we collected $8,000 in donations during six days of racing, with 100% of the proceeds going to area Thoroughbred aftercare charities.” Among the items they found were several different Peb posters from various Black Eyed Susan and `Lady Legend' days, including one that contained an image of the TDN's own Zoe Cadman. Said Hurst, “I ran into Ms. Cadman at Saratoga and she was kind enough to add her autograph, making those more valuable. I just wanted to share our story, and add a thank you to Ms. Cadman. We will continue to offer items until we run out, as well as offer items to the charities for their own fundraising efforts. We will be set up at Maryland Million in the Jim McKay Maryland Million Village and the following day at the Country Life and Merryland Autumn Day Open House.” The post Pimlico Cleanout Raises Money for Aftercare appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Thoroughbred Aftercare Day on Saturday, honoring organizations and individuals dedicated to retired racehorses, will be staged at Churchill Downs Saturday, Sept. 27, according to a Churchill Downs release. Nine aftercare organizations will be on-site, including Friends of Ferdinand Inc., Kentucky Equine Adoption Center, New Vocations, Old Friends, Second Stride, The Secretariat Center, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Thoroughbred Charities of America and Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. Each organization has shared a special Thoroughbred Aftercare Day ticket link on their social media channels. A portion of each ticket purchased through those links will be donated to support their aftercare efforts. To purchase reserved seating tickets, visit: www.gofevo.com/group/Thoroughbredaftercareday. Guests also will be able to meet Golden Strike, the dam of 2022 Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike, and learn about her post-racing life. A horse snack station will be available for guests to feed her horse-friendly treats, along with other activities throughout the day. The day will also feature an online auction with the Churchill Downs Foundation. Auction items include private farm tours, naming a horse, and meeting 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra. Bidding ends on Saturday 7 p.m. and winners will be notified by email. Saturday's 11-race program begins at 12:45 p.m. (ET) and is headlined by the GII Lukas Classic and GIII Ack Ack Stakes, both local preps for the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Gates open at 11:30 a.m.   The post Churchill Downs Celebrates Thoroughbred Aftercare Day Sept. 27 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
