Rags to Riches Owners Donate to CharityMichael Tabor and Derrick Smith, owners of recently retired champion and 2007 Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Rags to Riches, will donate the royalties from the sale of the Rags to Riches Breyer model horse to the National Thoroughbred Racing Association Charities--Permanently Disabled Jockeys' Fund.
"We are extreemely grateful to Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, who agreed to the deal with Breyer chiefly due to its potential to raise funds for the PDJF," NTRA President Alex Waldrop said. "We are also very appreciative of Breyer's continued support of worthy, racing-related causes."
Ridden by John Velazquez, Rags to Riches became the first female in 102 years to win the BelmontStakes, doing so after a prolonged stretch duel with eventual Horse of the Year Curlin. The A.P. Indy filly was later named Champion three-year-old filly of 2007. She was retired March 24 after re-injuring her right front pastern.
To date, sales of the Rags to Riches Breyer horse have generated more than $10,000 for the PDJF since it was introduced in November 2007---Thoroughbred Times |
