Info

FLORIDA Oak Tree Racing Association & Charitable Foundation has given grants and contributions to American Horse Council Unwanted Horse Coalition, California Equine Retirement Foundation, Equine Advocates, GEVA, Inc. Equine Retirement Foundation, Tranquility Farms Harry Biszantz Center for Thoroughbreds, Jolene’s Horse Rescue, Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation and United Pegasus Foundation. CARF-member Pleasanton (aka Alameda County Fair Association) works directly with GEVA and CANTER California to re-home racehorses. The Association provides a mechanism for racing fans to donate to equine adoption, with funds dispersed to GEVA and CANTER. Santa Anita Park makes annual contributions to Tranquility Farm, California Equine Retirement Foundation and the United Pegasus Foundation. Calder Race Course Gulfstream Park Tampa Bay Downs Calder Race Course, Gulfstream Park and the Florida HBPA have established the Florida Thoroughbred Retirement and Adoptive Care Program (FL TRAC), a 501 (c)(3) charity. FL TRAC is funded by mandatory contributions of 1/3 rd of 1 percent of purses generated at the tracks and by direct charitable contributions. Jockeys also contribute $1 per mount. FL TRAC allocates funds to several Florida aftercare facilities including Pure Thoughts and the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. As a CDI track, Calder participates in the Green Pastures Program (see Churchill Downs). Gulfstream Park, owned by MI Developments, Inc. (MID), initiated the Thoroughbred After-Care Program (GP TACP) in 2011. A portion of funds from Gulfstream Park's share of wagering revenues are donated to eligible 501(c)(3) charities that provide for the care and support for horses retired from the racetrack. To date, GP TACP has donated approximately $70,000 to eligible charities, such as the Florida Thoroughbred Retirement & Adoptive Care Program (FL TRAC). GP TACP has also given funds to Thoroughbred retirement and re-training programs associated with MID tracks Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course in Maryland. Tampa Bay Downs works with the Florida HBPA on a $1 per start contribution to the Thoroughbred Retirement of Tampa (TROT). The track funded TROT’s start-up expenses in full. Tampa Bay sponsors various fundraisers and the track donates to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation and Florida Thoroughbred Charities, the charitable arm of the Florida Thoroughbred industry. 4
ILLINOIS Arlington Park Hawthorne Race Course Arlington Park and Hawthorne Race Course cooperate in Galloping Out, a program operated by the Illinois THA (ITHA). The program is administered by a committee of ITHA board members. Through the efforts of ITHA, .03% of purses earned at Arlington Park and Hawthorne Race Course are directed to the fund. The tracks also make annual cash contributions. The ITHA committee determines the eligibility of horses, selection of retirement facilities and the amount of funding to be provided. Facilities supported are 501 (c)(3) rescue facilities approved by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Arlington Park and Hawthorne are responsible for the disbursement of the funds collected. INDIANA Hoosier Park Hoosier Park is affiliated with the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, Friends of Ferdinand and New Vocations. Hoosier Park supports these organizations through donations, sponsorship of events and fundraisers. Information detailing these events is posted in horsemen’s areas at the track. IOWA Prairie Meadows Prairie Meadows is affiliated with Hope After Racing Thoroughbreds (HART), a program initiated in spring 2011. The track has representation on the Board that oversees the program, a non-profit, volunteer organization serving Thoroughbreds racing in Iowa. HART services include rehabilitation, continuing education and adoption. Financial support from Prairie Meadows has yet to be determined. KENTUCKY Churchill Downs Keeneland Turfway Park Churchill Downs, Inc., (CDI) is affiliated with the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, New Vocations and CANTER Kentucky. CDI gives to these organizations through its Green Pastures fundraising and public awareness program, launched in 2002. A surrender stall is available and the track’s equine retirement specialists assist owners and trainers with placing their horses. A CDI liaison evaluates each horse and works directly with the aftercare programs to make sure each horse is accepted into the best program for its needs. 5
