Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) will be at Del Mar for the Breeders' Cup World Championships as the official aftercare partner and will host several events, the non-profit said in a release Friday morning.
TAA will be represented with two named races on Friday of Breeders' Cup weekend. Race 2, The GII Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Stakes is scheduled for 12:10 p.m. PT/3:10 p.m. ET. The GI FanDuel Breeders' Cup Juvenile presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will be run at 4:45 p.m. PT/7:45 p.m. ET. After each race, a presentation will be made in the winner's circle where the winning connections will receive a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance gift bag and blanket.
As part of their commitment to supporting accredited aftercare, FanDuel will make a $100,000 contribution to the aftercare organization.
“The FanDuel Group is proud to have Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance present The FanDuel Breeders' Cup Juvenile for a fifth consecutive year,” said Andrew Moore, FanDuel's general manager of racing. “Accredited aftercare is a vital part of the industry, and we're honored to contribute to the incredible work that Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance does in supporting the aftercare of our equine athletes when they retire from the track.”
Also planned, TAA will host the winners of the 2024 VIP Breeders' Cup World Championships experience from the “Off to the Races” online benefit auction. This experience was donated by Breeders' Cup Limited. The winners will enjoy four tickets to the Breeders' Cup Breakfast Marquee on Wednesday, a table for four at the track on Friday and Saturday, paddock passes for The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Stakes, and much more.
Additionally, TAA will have a booth set up during both days of the Breeders' Cup, where patrons are encouraged to stop by to learn more about accredited aftercare. Branded merchandise will be available in exchange for a donation.
