Another Thoroughbred Makeover is in the books, and what a week it was. Between the rain, the long days, and the incredible athletes we competed against, it’s safe to say this year’s event was one for the memory books. Bringing both Imposing Ruler – aka “Henry” – and Gray Magician made for a full and rewarding experience, and I couldn’t be prouder of how both horses handled themselves.

When it comes to horses, even the most cynical of souls has a hard time not falling for the large eyes and dynamic ears of a Thoroughbred. We are captivated by their hearts on the track and their personalities off of it, their faces as familiar to us as those of family and friends. They become a part of our racing lives and their welfare beyond their time in racing matters to us all. Enter organizations like California Retirement Management Account, or CARMA.
