The Friday Show Presented By Woodbine: Putting Aftercare Front And Center

“Aftercare is not an afterthought.”

That's the mantra that drives CARMA – the California Retirement Management Account – to fulfill its mission to help fund the retirement of California-raced Thoroughbreds and educate the public and racing community about aftercare.

Lucinda Lovitt, executive director of CARMA, joins Ray Paulick and editor-in-chief Natalie Voss on this week's Friday Show to talk about this critical element of the Thoroughbred industry that, only a few decades ago, was discussed in hushed tones among industry insiders.

“The general public has taken a good look at our industry and one thing they expect,” Lovitt said, “ is that these horses have something to do when their racing careers are over. “

CARMA, along with other regional organizations and the national Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, has helped bring about a “formalization” of the retirement process over the last 15 years, Lovitt said.

'It's important for owners to remember,” Lovitt said, “that – now especially – a retirement plan needs to be part of an owner's business plan from the beginning.”
