November 9, 2022

TAA Press Release

LEXINGTON, Ky.— It was an outstanding weekend for the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) as the Official Aftercare Partner of the Breeders’ Cup. FanDuel honored the TAA with its third $100,000 donation in three years during a check presentation on FanDuel TV as part of its World Championship broadcast.

The Breeders’ Cup continues to strengthen its partnership with the TAA through many activations, including presenting Future Stars Friday’s final undercard race, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Stakes (G2). Trained by William Cowans, NEXT and jockey Luan Machado went gate-to-wire for owner Michael Foster. After winning the $350k mile and five-eighths marathon, the son of Not This Time bred by Silverton Hill has earned a total of $564,282 for his connections.

FanDuel’s dedication to accredited Thoroughbred aftercare was the talk of the town during Future Stars Friday’s premiere race, the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile presented by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (G1). FORTE and jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. rallied down the stretch just in time to take the lead for owners St. Elias Stable and TAA supporter Repole Stable. Trained by Todd Pletcher and bred by South Gate Farm, FORTE concludes his two-year-old season with three Grade 1 wins and earnings of nearly $1.6 million.

Of the eight undercard and 14 championship races, TAA supporting breeders, owners, and trainers found the winner’s circle 12 times during the world championships of racing in Lexington, Kentucky.
