Thoroughbred Incentive Program

Sunny Aftermoon made eight starts as a 3-year-old, never breaking his maiden. He retired from the track after one season with earnings of $4,820.

Currently, the pair is competing in first level dressage while schooling second level at home.

From five starts, Bridgie the Bull never broke her maiden and retired with earnings totaling $3,008. The daughter of Benny the Bull might not have found her calling on the track, but has come into her own since beginning a second career.

Blackjack N Beers raced nine times, earning three wins and two additional placings in the maiden ranks. Now, after being adopted through TAA-accredited Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue, he’s a T.I.P. performance award champion and brave trail horse.

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.), which encourages the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of careers in racing or breeding, announced the winners and other placings from its 2017 performance awards program March 23.
