The TAA and Centennial Farms will promote the winners on their social media platforms, and the winning groom will be mentioned on the live simulcast feed. “We are honored to again partner with and support the great work of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, an outstanding leader in aftercare for our industry,” said Don Little, President of Centennial Farms. “Everyone at Centennial feels very strongly about the lifelong commitment to our horses and ensuring they have a secure home when their racing days are over. As fans watch some of the world’s best horses compete on the Pegasus World Cup Invitational card, we are thrilled to help shine a well-deserved spotlight on the grooms who work so hard each day to help these magnificent athletes reach their potential.” Centennial Farms was the sponsor for the TAA Best Turned Out Horse Awards at the Pegasus World Cup in 2019, with Little personally selecting the winners.
