As part of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA)'s month-long Holiday Giving Campaign, Donna Brothers has pledged to match all donations up to $2,500 made to the TAA on Dec. 9.
“At the end of the day, our industry will be judged by how well we take care of our athletes,” said former jockey, author, and reporter for NBC Sports, Donna Brothers. “Not only while they are racing and 'useful' to us, but especially when they are most vulnerable: at the end of their racing careers. Many of these horses make thousands of dollars at the track, some make millions, but the reality is, they don't really get a dime. Let's make sure they're taken care of.”
In addition to her $2,500 match donation, Brothers also donates 100% of the proceeds from her book “Inside Track: Inside Guide to Horse Racing” to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.
