Tucson, AZ – Join industry leaders and experts in retired racehorse aftercare at the Global Symposium on Racing for an in-depth discussion of the evolving landscape of the aftercare programs and what strategies could propel these efforts to new heights. While major improvements to American aftercare efforts have been achieved, particularly after the creation and launch of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance in 2012, what does the next decade look like for America’s retired racehorses? Looking ahead, panelists will share strategies for creating a sustainable funding model, implementing innovative approaches, and ensuring these programs continue to grow and thrive over the next decade.

“Aftercare needs to remain a top priority for the industry,” said Robert Hartman, Chair of the Race Track Industry Program. “Securing sustainable funding sources to guarantee that 100% of racehorses are properly cared for after their racing careers is the most critical element to our success.”

Registration for the Global Symposium on Racing is now open and a $100 early bird registration discount is available to those who register by November 22. Hotel registration at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is also now open. Visit www.racingsymposium.com for more information.
