Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will be present at Woodbine Racetrack for the fourth annual Woodbine Aftercare Day on Saturday, October 5, 2024. This annual event promotes the importance of accredited aftercare in Thoroughbred racehorses, supporting the mission to ensure opportunities for second careers after their time on the track concludes. Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will present the Nearctic Stakes, a Grade II, six-furlong turf race for three-year-olds and up. After the running of the race, a presentation will be made to the winning connections, including a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance branded blanket and gift bag. Additionally, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will present Best Turned-Out Horse Awards, sponsored by Josham Farms Limited, for all stakes races on Saturday. Winners of the awards will receive a gift bag featuring Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-branded merchandise and a cash prize. Throughout the day, jockeys and valets will have the chance to donate a portion of their race earnings to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance for any races ridden on Woodbine Aftercare Day. This initiative allows riders to show their commitment to ensuring Thoroughbreds receive proper care after their racing careers are over. “Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is extremely thankful to Woodbine Racetrack for their contribution and commitment to accredited aftercare,” said Stacie Clark-Rogers, Operations Consultant, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “This day is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the Thoroughbred, both on and off the racetrack, and presenting the Best Turned Out Horse awards is a wonderful way to highlight that.” Woodbine Racetrack will make a generous donation to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance during the event. The race presentation and charitable contribution are just a few of the ways that Woodbine highlights and reinforces the importance of accredited aftercare. “Woodbine Racetrack is honored to host Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance for Woodbine Aftercare Day,” said Martha Wakely, Thoroughbred Racing Operations, Woodbine Entertainment. “We have a strong community of accredited aftercare supporters here at Woodbine, and this event is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the incredible work being done for Thoroughbreds both on and off the track.”
