In addition to coast to coast coverage of live horse racing, Thoroughbred aftercare will also take center stage this weekend as the annual CARMAthon online fundraiser will be showcased live on FanDuel TV for the fourth consecutive year.
Throughout the broadcast, FanDuel TV will be amplifying the message and will be highlighting stories of retired racehorses thriving in second careers. The goal of the annual fundraiser is to raise $150,000 for retired racehorses. The donations from this fundraiser will help fund CARMA's (California Retirement Management Account) grant program which offers assistance to more than 20 Thoroughbred aftercare charities.
At Del Mar, a spot in the starting gate in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) will be on the line in the $200,000 Pat O'Brien Stakes (G2), part of the Breeders' Cup “Win and You're In” Challenge Series at Del Mar on Saturday. There will be on-site interviews, expert analysis and handicapping selections throughout the card.
The Pat O'Brien Stakes (G2) has drawn a field of eleven contenders including Anarchist for trainer Doug O'Neill and C Z Rocket, winner of the 2020 installment of this race for trainer Peter Miller.
The promotion of the CARMAthon fundraiser is one of many charitable initiatives supported by FanDuel throughout the year which includes Thoroughbred aftercare, the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF) and other causes that help enhance the safety and welfare of the human and equine athletes in the racing community.
