WILMINGTON, Del.— Delaware Park Casino & Racing and the Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (DTHA) teamed up to donate $20,000 to Mid-Atlantic Horse Rescue (MAHR) and Canter Delaware.
A check presentation was held after the fourth race as part of the special ten-race Owners Day card today.
“We are honored to be a partner with Mid-Atlantic Horse Rescue and Canter Delaware in this initiative to make sure these incredible athletes have careers after racing,” said Kevin DeLucia, the Chief Financial Officer at Delaware Park. “The people behind these organizations do incredible work dedicating themselves to making sure each horse has a purpose and place beyond racing. We could not be happier to support them.”
“The Delaware Park horsemen work well with the aftercare team,” said DTHA Executive Director Bessie Gruwell. “We are fortunate to have such a dedicated team, they have boots on the ground in the stable area every week checking in with trainers to see if they have any horses that are looking for a new career.”
