LEXINGTON, KY — Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance has been announced as the Official Charity Partner of the NTRA National Horseplayers Championship (NHC), taking place at the Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel and Casino from March 14-16, 2025.

Throughout the week, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will have a booth set up where horseplayers are encouraged to stop by and learn more about accredited aftercare. Branded gifts will be available in exchange for a donation. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to donate and enter for a chance to win various prizes from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. Winning prizes include: a table for four at the Santa Anita Derby on April 5, 2025, $250 in Horseplayer.com credits, a private tour of Old Friends, and Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance branded gifts.

Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will also be on-site for NTRA’s Last Chance First Chance NHC qualifier, which is held on Thursday, March 13. NTRA generously donated a VIP experience during Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance’s “Off to the Races” online charity auction earlier this year. The VIP experience included hotel accommodation and a waived entry fee for this qualifier.

“We’re thrilled to have Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance return to the National Horseplayers Championship,” said Tom Rooney, President & CEO, NTRA. “Their commitment to the welfare of our cherished equine athletes once their racing careers end is a cause we all stand behind and is instrumental to the continued future and success of our sport.”

“We are excited to be back as the Official Charity Partner of NHC for another year,” said Catherine Flowers, Data Director, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “Thank you to NTRA for their continued support and to the horseplayers who support not only Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance but also our industry’s deserving Thoroughbreds. The horses and the horseplayers are two essential components of our great sport, and we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate both at NHC.”
