ELMONT, N.Y.— The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation [TRF] will be onsite at Belmont Park on Sunday as part of their 40th-anniversary celebrations.
In addition to a booth in the backyard to celebrate their “Cheers to 40 Years” campaign, the card’s sixth race – a one-mile maiden claimer for 3-year-olds and up – will be named in support of the TRF.
The TRF, which is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, is a nonprofit [501c3] charitable organization entirely supported by private donations from individuals, organizations and foundations. The TRF is a national foundation with headquarters in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
Founded in 1983, the TRF, which is the oldest and largest thoroughbred rescue in the U.S., provides the promise of a lifetime of sanctuary to each horse in their herd, including rescued and retired racehorses who are unable to pursue secondary athletic careers.
