Info

NEW JERSEY Monmouth Park Monmouth Park and the New Jersey THA are affiliated with ReRun. Both organizations make direct annual contributions to support ReRun’s equine adoption program and the track hosts a variety of fundraisers. Additionally, Monmouth Park jockeys donate $1 per start. ReRun is on-site at the track to assist horsemen on a daily basis, and provides educational services and equine transition protocols for owners and trainers. Once a horse is ready for adoption, ReRun seeks adoptive homes. Potential applicants are well screened; each adopted horse leaves under contract; the adopter is placed on a two-year probationary period. Adopters agree to provide ReRun with a vet check at six-month intervals. If the horse has a catastrophic injury beyond repair, euthanasia is used as a dignified option. NEW MEXICO Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino Sunland Park works with the Equine Protection Fund of New Mexico, Equine Encore Foundation, Humane Society of El Paso and Second Stride. Horsemen may make voluntary contributions to Thoroughbred retirement through automatic deductions from their purse accounts. The track also sells merchandise with proceeds benefitting Second Stride. NEW YORK Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack New York Racing Association (Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, Saratoga Racecourse) Finger Lakes Racing Association, owned by Delaware North, donated property for and supports an on-site facility called the Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program (FLTAP).The FLTAP barn houses up to 16 horses awaiting adoption. During the course of a year FLTAP places between 60 and 75 horses in new homes. That number includes horses donated to the program and horses on the backside that FLTAP personnel promote to interested and qualified horsemen. Each year, Finger Lakes Racing Association donates $2 per start to the FLTAP, which is matched by horsemen. Additional funds come from grants, donations and fundraisers. FLTAP is overseen by a Board made up of HBPA representatives and Finger Lakes Racetrack management. FLTAP has re-homed nearly 500 horses since its founding in 2006. The New York Racing Association (NYRA) has contributed financial support to the Columbia Greene Humane Society, Old Friends, Exceller Fund, the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation and Equine Advocates. In addition to this support, in 2009 NYRA implemented an anti-slaughter policy that introduced penalties to offending horsemen while encouraging them to support horse rescue and adoption initiatives. The policy states: “Any owner or trainers stabled at a New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) track found to have directly or indirectly sold a horse for slaughter will have his or her stalls permanently revoked from all NYRA tracks. NYRA requires horsemen to conduct due diligence on those buying horses and encourages them to support rescue and adoption efforts and to find humane ways of dealing with horses unable to continue racing.” 8
In 2011, NYRA will launch an online Thoroughbred Retirement Resource Guide on NYRA.com. The guide is designed to help owners and trainers who are looking to find a home for their retired Thoroughbreds. OHIO Beulah Park Beulah Park works with Ohio aftercare organizations CANTER Ohio and New Vocations as needed. The track provides financial contributions, access to its backstretch for information gathering by equine adoption representatives and three surrender stalls. The track has an agreement with the Ohio HBPA to split costs of feed and hay when necessary. Beulah Park has hosted events benefitting CANTER and Beulah Park horse retirement. OKLAHOMA Remington Park Through legislation supported by the horse industry, the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission is developing a program to fund retirement and retraining for Oklahoma-bred Thoroughbreds. The state’s racehorse owners have agreed to pay double registration fees to support it. Remington Park will make contributions on a per-starter basis; the amount is to be determined. Based on approximately 11,000 starters annually, the estimated contribution is $66,000. Remington Park is affiliated with the Oklahoma Thoroughbred Retirement Program. PENNSYLVANIA Hollywood at Penn National Race Course Parx Racing Presque Isle Downs Penn National Race Course works with New Vocations, providing financial assistance and help with advertising and promotions. The Pennsylvania HBPA coordinates the New Vocations program. Funding is automatic, with a $10 per-start fee deducted from purse earnings or other pay-in fees. The track is developing a mechanism for racing fans to contribute to the program. Parx Racing is affiliated with Turning for Home. Parx makes an annual donation, which is matched by the Pennsylvania THA. The Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association also makes an annual contribution. Additional funding comes from a $10 per-start fee from owners. Jockeys also contribute $10 for a win and $5 for a second-place finish. Trainers based at PARX a minimum of six months per year can place a horse with Turning for Home at no extra charge. In just three years, approximately 540 horses have been taken into the program. The PTHA pays the salary of the program administrator and PARX racing provides an office at the track. 9
