Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) will be in attendance to present awards and promote horse care at Santa Anita Park on Saturday, Sept. 28, for the inaugural California Crown Day, the non-profit said in a release Wednesday.
Following the running of the Unzip Me Stakes presented by the TAA, winning connections will be presented with a branded blanket and gift bag in the winner's circle, and a check presentation will be made from 1/ST to the aftercare organization.
“This event spotlights the best of California racing, and collaborating with Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance provides a great opportunity for race fans and participants to learn more about the mission to support Thoroughbreds after racing,” said Nate Newby, general manager, Santa Anita Park.
TAA will also present the Best Turned-Out awards, which are sponsored by LRF Cares, for the entire card.
“Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is thrilled to be part of the inaugural California Crown,” said Emily Dresen, director of funding & events. “Presenting the Best Turned Out awards with LRF Cares is a great way to showcase the importance of horse care both before and after the track.”
