“It is important to us to continue to give back to the horse racing industry through numerous charitable initiatives each year,” FanDuel TV GM Andrew Moore said.
“CARMA does tremendous work to help retired racehorses thrive in their second careers off of the track and we are thrilled to be able to support them in that mission.”
The annual event showcases stories of retired racehorses “thriving” in second careers as well as the donations which help to fund CARMA’s grant program, offering assistance to more than 20 Thoroughbred aftercare charities.
