Coady and Devine Pledge Matching TAA Giving Campaign Donation

Kurtis Coady and Megan Devine have pledged to match all donations up to $500 made to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance as part of the TAA's month-long Holiday Giving Campaign. The track photographer and on-air analyst own retired racehorses at their Cardinal Creek Farm.

“The Thoroughbred has given us everything, both personally and professionally,” said Devine and Coady. “We met at a racetrack and consider ourselves so lucky to have enjoyed careers in the racing industry. We believe it's incredibly important to give back to the horses, and the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance provides an excellent avenue to do so. On our own, we have rescued a few Thoroughbreds and provided both a forever home and a second career. But with your support, the TAA can help so many more horses find a soft landing after their time on the racetrack.”

TAA's Holiday Giving Campaign commenced Nov. 29 and is scheduled to conclude New Year's Eve. Those wishing to support the TAA, its 81 accredited organizations, and thousands of retired Thoroughbreds can donate through the TAA's website or text DONATE to 56651. During the Holiday Giving Campaign, TAA is also offering donors the benefit of sending digital holiday cards to colleagues, friends, and loved ones.

“The opportunity to work at Ellis Park and be a part of the continued momentum for Kentucky racing is extraordinary,” said Gabbert. “I am very much looking forward to being a part of the 100-year celebration and working with the horsemen and staff to help deliver a wonderful race meeting.”
