Horse racing handicapper, author, and good friend of Canterbury, Mark Cramer, is raising funds in a unique way to help retired racehorses. He and a friend are undertaking a 600 mile bike ride criss-crossing through France and visiting 11 racetracks. You can learn more about this worthy venture and maybe make a donation to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation by visiting Riding For Their Lives.

HORSEPLAYERS TO THE RESCUE
We all know an answer for the preventing the slaughter of gallant thoroughbreds once their career is over. A microscopic percentage of the handle and purse money, an amount no one would notice, could be redirected to receiving retired thoroughbreds on farms and then looking for their new homes.
