TAA

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance has been named the official aftercare partner of the 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships Nov. 6-7 at Keeneland.

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program announced Sir Gus, of TAA-accredited Brook Hill Retirement Center for Horses, as the winner of its Thoroughbred of the Year Award.

Rebecca Shurrum couldn’t resist stepping in to assist TAA-accredited Thoroughbred Athletes when the organization posted online about four pregnant Thoroughbred mares that needed help.

StableDuel has declared September its “Aftercare Month” and has teamed up with the TAA and the Retired Racehorse Project. to shine a light on the owners of off-track-Thoroughbreds and their horses and raise money within the StableDuel app for the nonprofits.

FanDuel will become the title sponsor of two Breeders’ Cup races. Two of FanDuel Group’s charity partners will be incorporated into naming rights—the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile presented by PDJF and the TVG Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.

True Simon only ran four times. A life on the racetrack wasn’t meant for him, as he never broke his maiden, but he retired to TAA-accredited Secretariat Center to start anew.

Strike N Win made all 90 of his starts in Puerto Rico, mostly in the claiming ranks. The Illinois-bred son of Tenpins retired with 10 wins and $72,854 in earnings. Then he came to Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare.

Odlum was a true warhorse, making the majority of his 62 starts in eight seasons in the claiming ranks. The Florida-bred son of Concerto racked up more than $150,000 in earnings before retiring to MidAtlantic Horse Rescue.

After 43 starts, Sawdust retired to TAA-accredited MidAtlantic Horse Rescue with a record of 6-7-8 and earnings of nearly $95,000. Upon being shown to Al Gillen’s daughters, Sawdust instantly stole the show.
