Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 6, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 6, 2018 The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will celebrate women and their contributions to the Thoroughbred industry while raising funds to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) during Fabulous Fillies Day Thursday. As a new element to the annual event, NYRA will welcome local breast cancer survivors to the winner’s circle before several races on the day’s card in partnership with To Life!, a Capital Region non-profit organization which provides personalized breast cancer education and support services. NYRA and the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (NYTHA) will present a combined donation to the BCRF through Play for P.I.N.K. following the day’s third race, which will be named in honor of the organization. “Fabulous Fillies Day is not only a time to celebrate the role of women in equine racing, but also to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. We are also pleased this year to honor local breast cancer survivors for their courage and strength throughout the afternoon,” said NYRA Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer Lynn LaRocca.
