Horseshoe Indianapolis took part in an evening of activities linked to the World Jockey Challenge Saturday with funds and awareness being raised for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF).
“We are honored and proud to support the jockeys who ride our horses,” said Vice President of the Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association Jeri Harmon. “These jockeys are part of our business, so being able to assist with such a worthy cause is important to all the owners and breeders in our organization.”
The Indiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA), the night's title sponsor, awarded a $10,000 check to the PDJF while the ITOBA and Horseshoe Indy each presented an additional $2,500. A further $1,500 was given by the Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana.
“We represent the horsemen on the backstretch, and this is an important cause for our organization annually,” said Executive Director of the Indiana HBPA Tim Glyshaw. “Jockeys are very important to our industry, so we are glad to provide this donation.”
