TEXAS Lone Star Park Sam Houston Race Park Sam Houston Race Park works with Lone Star Outreach to Place Ex-Racers (LOPE). The track was instrumental in forming this organization and has worked with it for a decade. The track makes charitable contributions and facilitates LOPE fundraisers. Similarly, Lone Star Park works with LOPE to facilitate the transition of racehorses off the track. WASHINGTON Emerald Downs Emerald Downs started the Prodigious Fund in 2008 in cooperation with the Washington HBPA. Owners are encouraged to make voluntary contributions on a per-start basis through the paymaster of purse. Participation ranges from a minimum of $1 to $30 per start. Emerald Downs matches every dollar raised by contributing owners. The fund is also promoted as a memorial fund and fan contributions are encouraged. All contributions are dispersed at the end of each racing year to approved 501(c)(3) aftercare organizations, including Second Chance Ranch and Chez Cheveaux. Emerald Downs also facilitates on-track appearances by aftercare organizations to raise awareness and solicit contributions from fans. WEST VIRGINIA Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort Charles Town Races and the Charles Town HBPA have jointly implemented an automatic funding mechanism for equine aftercare, which is written into the track/horsemen purse agreement. For each start, $2 is contributed to an aftercare fund. The HBPA distributes the money to an aftercare group of its choosing. Charles Town Races also makes annual cash contributions to CANTER Mid-Atlantic. Additionally, the West Virginia Breeders’ Classics, through its board of directors, contributes to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation for the aftercare of horses that have raced at Charles Town. Mountaineer and CANTER established a chapter at the track in 2008. The program offers a free horse sale listing service to trainers and owners. CANTER volunteers contact trainers in person to list and photograph horses for sale. Mountaineer horses that are available for sale or placement are available to the general public on the organization’s Web site. Contact information is posted in the HBPA office. Mountaineer hosts fundraisers and awareness days; the track provides emergency stall space for horses being surrendered for adoption. 10
