Butler Pledges One-Day TAA Match Dec. 24

As part of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA)'s month-long Holiday Giving Campaign, Aidan Butler and his beloved off-track Thoroughbred Cannonstone have pledged to match all donations up to $2,500 made to the TAA Dec. 24. A member of TAA's Board of Directors and CEO of 1/ST RACING AND GAMING, Butler continues to be an advocate for the sport through safety, innovation, and aftercare initiatives.

“The TAA is vital to the success and longevity of our racing industry,” said Butler. “On a personal level, I wouldn't have my beloved horse Cannonstone without the TAA and their network of accredited groups (or the vet bills, but he's worth it). We are all in this together and if we continue to put the horse first, success will follow. Please join Stone and I to give back to the horses that truly give us everything.”

Butler adopted “Stone” from Secretariat Center in 2019, which is one of 81 accredited sites that is directly funded by TAA. He represents one out of approximately 15,000 retired racehorses that has successfully made the transition from the racetrack to a second career.

“We appreciate Aidan's commitment to the TAA and to the Thoroughbreds,” said TAA Operations Consultant, Stacie Clark. “Aidan's horse Cannonstone has been a wonderful mascot not only for aftercare but for all fans of Thoroughbreds and racing.”

TAA's Holiday Giving Campaign commenced Nov. 29 with one-day matches with the sport's biggest names and concludes New Year's Eve. Those wishing to support the TAA, its accredited organizations and thousands of retired Thoroughbreds can donate through the TAA's website or text DONATE to 56651.
