LEXINGTON, KY – Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will be on-site at Saratoga Race Course for Belmont Stakes weekend. The 157^th running of the Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025.

To highlight accredited aftercare, the New York Racing Association, Inc (NYRA) will honor Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance with a named race on the undercard on Friday, June 6. Following the running of the race, a presentation will be made to the winning connections, including a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance branded blanket and gift bag.

“NYRA is proud to continue its partnership with Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance during the 2025 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival,” said Tony Allevato, President of NYRA Bets and NYRA Chief Revenue Officer. “Supporting accredited aftercare is a vital part of our sport’s future, and we’re pleased to recognize Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance’s ongoing commitment to the well-being of our equine athletes. This weekend provides the perfect stage to celebrate the importance of aftercare with fans, horsemen, and the entire racing community.”

Representatives from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will be present to host the winners of the VIP experience that was auctioned off earlier in the year in the “Off to the Races” Campaign to support accredited aftercare. The winners of this experience will enjoy a table for four and a day of racing on Friday and Saturday, admission into the paddock on Friday, and much more. This exciting VIP experience was generously donated by NYRA.

“Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is thrilled to be back at Belmont at Saratoga to witness the final leg of the Triple Crown,” said Emily Dresen, Director of Fundraising and Events. “We are grateful to NYRA for providing us with this opportunity to showcase our mission, host our winners of the Belmont VIP Experience, and see so many supporters and racing fans. We wish all the contenders and connections the best of luck and a fantastic day of racing!”
