The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) will be present at Colonial Downs during Virginia Derby weekend starting on Saturday, Sept. 7, the organization said in a release Thursday.
Colonial Downs, a longtime supporter of accredited aftercare, will honor the TAA with a named race on the card. Aftercare members will present for the GIII Kitten's Joy Stakes and make a presentation in the winner's circle, and a number of other scheduled events are planned.
“I'm both excited and grateful to represent Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance at Colonial Downs on Virginia Derby Day,” said Suzie Picou-Oldham, Inspections Administrator, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “We will be presenting Best Turned-Out awards, sponsored by Virginia HBPA. This is a fantastic way for us to celebrate accredited aftercare while awarding the grooms who care for the horses on the track.”
