Saratoga Event Raises More Than $100,000 for Thoroughbred Adoption 

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The glitzy Boots and Bling Casino Night held this month raised more than $100,000 for ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption. The 501(c)(3) program is the largest thoroughbred rehabilitation and retraining program in the Northeast.

The event, held at Sugar Plum Farm on Gilbert Road, was attended by more than 250 people and featured a casino night, dinner, and a live auction with a selection of exclusive items showcasing a unique connection to the world of horse racing. These included halters belonging to Dornoch; the 2024 Belmont Stakes winner, and the 2024 Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby winners; Thorpedo Anna and Mystik Dan, and Funny Cide’s Preakness sheet.

ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption accepts horses after their racing careers from New York trainers, owners, and farms, regardless of the connections’ ability to donate. Each year, ReRun takes in over 125 horses and places most in pre-approved homes.
