The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA)'s annual online benefit auction featuring VIP racing experience packages will open bidding Thursday, Jan. 25 at 10 a.m. EST and close Friday, Feb. 2 at 10 p.m. EST. All proceeds from the 'Off to the Races Campaign' will go to support accredited aftercare.
The auction features 18 VIP packages which grant access to major race days across North America in 2024 and 2025. Each package features an exclusive itinerary of horse racing-related activities.
“These VIP experiences are more than just events, they're gateways to unforgettable moments and a chance to share the magic of the racetrack for new and longtime race goers,” said TAA's Director of Funding and Events Emily Dresen. “We're excited to bring these once-in-a-lifetime adventures to people who share our love for the sport.”
The first VIP experience by date is the Mar. 9 Tampa Bay Derby and the last is the 2025 Pegasus World Cup. All three Triple Crown races are featured, as is the Breeders' Cup, the King's Plate, and a number of other top events in the sport.
