Delaware, OH (Oct. 25) – Prominent owners are stepping up to support aftercare by participating in the New Vocations Breeders Crown Pledge. This pledge is an easy way for owners, trainers and drivers of Breeders Crown finalists to pledge a percentage of their earnings or commissions from the championship races this weekend. No amount is too small. Every dollar goes towards the rehabilitation, retraining and rehoming of Standardbreds leaving the track.
Burke Racing, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Diamond Creek Racing, Howard Taylor and Crawford Farms are all giving a percentage towards Standardbred aftercare.
“Diamond Creek Farm has always stressed the importance of aftercare for the Standardbred, from our herd of retired mares to our ex-racehorse babysitters,” said farm owner Adam Bowden. “We applaud the efforts of New Vocations, who with the support of others is able to directly contribute to the successful futures of many of these horses.
New Vocations will continue to accept pledges throughout the weekend. For more information or to donate, contact Winnie Morgan Nemeth 734.320.7918 or winnie@horseadoption.com or Dot Morgan 937.947.4020 or dot@horseadoption.com or http://www.newvocations.org/breeders-crown-pledge-2/
