New Vocations announced the Night at the Stars Pledge Nov. 1, an initiative created by DJ Stables to promote and raise much-needed funds for the program’s aftercare efforts. Sellers and buyers are invited to pledge a percentage of the sale price(s) during Fasig Tipton’s November 7 breeding stock sale. The initiative comes at a critical time as the program has taken in 20% more retired racehorses than they did last year, which has dramatically increased operational costs.
“We are so pleased to have the opportunity to partner with New Vocations. We are confident that the Fasig-Tipton Night of the Stars sale provides the best venue to promote our association with this wonderful organization,” DJ Stable’s general manager Jonathan Green said.
“We are proud to pledge 1% of the sales proceeds from our two entries, Champion and grade 1 winner Wonder Wheel (Hip 200) and Goddess Pele (Hip 236), to the New Vocations’ aftercare programs and hope other buyers and sellers follow our lead.”
“We are pleased to work with DJ Stables and New Vocations on this initiative. Fasig-Tipton supports aftercare initiatives, including the TAA, New Vocations, Old Friends, and many other organizations that do great work with our equine athletes,” shared Boyd Browning, Fasig Tipton president and CEO. “We hope many owners will join in pledging to support New Vocations in addition to the TAA sales program.”
New Vocations will continue to seek pledges until the start of the sale Nov. 7. Those interested can visit https://new-vocations-night-of-the-stars-pledge.causevox.com/ and fill out the pledge form. Fasig Tipton accounting will automatically deduct all pledges from the sale price.
