The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) has been named the Official Aftercare Partner of the 2021 Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 5-6 at Del Mar. It is also an Official Charity of the Breeders' Cup along with aftercare partner California Retirement Management Account (CARMA).
On Breeders' Cup Saturday, the TAA will present its namesake race, the GII Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance S.–formerly the Marathon S. It has also partnered with TVG to be part of the GI TVG Breeders' Cup Juvenile presented by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance on Future Stars Friday.
“We are delighted that the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance has joined with us again as our official aftercare partner of the World Championships, and by continuing their sponsorship of the GII Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance S.,” said Dora Delgado, Breeders' Cup Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Officer. “As a foundation supporter, Breeders' Cup salutes the exemplary work of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance in approving aftercare organizations in the retraining and rehoming of Thoroughbreds following their racing careers.”
“It's a privilege to have the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance partnered with the TVG Breeders' Cup Juvenile again,” said Andrew Moore, Vice President Racing TVG/FanDuel Group. “The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance does tremendous work and racehorse aftercare is a very important cause to the TVG team and all our viewers.”
The TAA will have an on-site presence at Del Mar alongside CARMA, which works with all 11 TAA-accredited organizations in the state of California.
“Hosting the Breeders' Cup in Del Mar provides the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of California Thoroughbred aftercare nonprofits,” said Lucinda Lovitt, Executive Director of CARMA. “CARMA is excited to partner with the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance at yet another Breeders' Cup World Championships.”
The Breeders' Cup has supported the TAA since its inception and was a seed money donor.
“We are once again thrilled to be the Official Aftercare Partner of the Breeders' Cup, who was a founding member,” said TAA Vice President Jeff Bloom. “The Breeders' Cup World Championships is our industry's premier showcase and an enormous opportunity for the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance to highlight the importance of Thoroughbred aftercare and the financial support we provide to the more than 81 accredited organizations throughout the country.”
