Woodbine Aftercare Day to Feature TAA

For the second consecutive year, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) will be promoted at Woodbine Racetrack's Aftercare Day Oct. 8. TAA will be recognized throughout the race day, including in the presentation of the GII Nearctic Stakes. Patrons can support the organization during a day of racing that includes jockey pledges, and TAA Best Turned Out Horse Awards. Riders will have the opportunity to designate their earnings to the TAA for any races won Saturday, Oct. 8. The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Best Turned Out Horse Awards will be conducted in conjunction with the five stakes races on the card and are sponsored by Josham Farms Limited.

“Aftercare of retired racehorses is a vital component of the sport and important to the team at Woodbine,” said Chief Executive Officer of Woodbine Entertainment Group, Jim Lawson. “We are honored to welcome the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance to the second installment of Woodbine Aftercare Day. Last year was a great success and we look forward to working with the TAA again.”
