“One of our TAA [Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance] partners, Maryland Horse Rescue, they did an event like this around the Preakness,” said Pappas, LongRun's Chair and one of its founding members. “We thought it was a great idea. We're not able to have a big gala like we usually do to fundraise, so this was this alternative. And it seems to be working out extremely well.”

Photos and short bios of the horses are featured on the LongRun website.
