SCTR 2010 "Day At The Races"

SCTR will be holding a fundraising "Day at the Races" event at Hollywood Park in the Finish Line Cafe on Saturday May 22 2010. Please come and join us! There will be artwork and photography, and other great racing memoribilia, for sale and up for bid in silent auctions.

The fundraiser will also serve as a west coast book release party for Caballo Press's 2010 publication Horsenameographies. Ten percent of the proceeds from sales of this book will benefit SCTR and ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption. Copies of the book signed by editor Rudolph Alvarado will be available for purchase at the fundraiser, or you can purchase a ticket/book combination in advance of the event below. From the website of Caballo Press, here is a product description for Horsenameographies:

In the fall of 2009, Caballo Press of Ann Arbor challenged lovers of horses everywhere to submit their life stories in a race     horse name. In three months, over 800 horse lovers took up the reins and submitted their life stories in a race horse name. Life stories ranged from the humorous, to the touching, to the heart wrenching; resulting in a collection of memories that have already made this book the most anticipated horse related book of 2010. A portion of the profits from all books published by Caballo Press of Ann Arbor is donated to a non-profit organization related to the equine industry. A percentage of this book will be donated to ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption Program and Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue.
