Six of North America's prominent Thoroughbred aftercare organizations will be featured on-site Sunday as part of Thoroughbred Aftercare Day at Ellis Park Racing & Gaming, the track said in a Thursday release.
After post time at 11:45 a.m. (CDT), fans will be invited to learn more about Thoroughbred retirement at several booths set up on the concourse by Friends of Ferdinand, New Vocations, Second Stride, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Thoroughbred Charities of America and Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation.
The six participating Thoroughbred aftercare organizations will be featured in the Jeff Hall Winner's Circle during the trophy presentations for each stakes race on the card.
There will be several opportunities for racing fans to donate to the participating charities including a special one-of-a-kind Ellis Park Derby Day t-shirt that will be for sale in the Gift Shop and a watermelon stand where proceeds will benefit Thoroughbred aftercare.
