Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: Whats in It for Me Finds What He Needed Most

Whats in It for Me, a 2017 gray gelding, had nine starts and earned $11,007 before retiring from racing in 2021. He arrived at Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga in September of that year, but something wasn’t quite right. After sustaining a sesamoid fracture on the track, he had spent nearly a year on stall rest at the organization.

“Erin Sisk, co-founder of Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga, asked me to come and look at Grey [Whats in It for Me] because he didn't fit their program. He didn't seem happy,” said Anna Hollander.

A Thoroughbred Impact on Rodeo at University of Kentucky

The University of Kentucky is known for excellence in many sports. Rodeo is building toward becoming one of them. Founded in 2013, the team has steadily grown to incorporate Barrel Racing, Bull Riding, Goat Tying, and Team Roping.

Most horses on the team are Quarter-Horses, but one team in particular stands out thanks to an off-track Thoroughbred named Titan, who competed as a racehorse as Good Stuff and was sired by Popular. Emma Denno, Titan’s owner, bought him when she was 14 and started to train him on her own.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: An Exciting and Nerve-Racking Time

There’s no denying it now. We’re officially in crunch time for this year’s Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover, and I still have a lot of decisions to make. Not only are there only 79 days until the start of competition, but there are also only eight days for me to declare my potential second horse. Eight days to decide which, if any, of the makeover-eligible horses available to me I think has the best shot of showcasing their talent in an entirely new discipline and hopeful future career in only 79 days. Exciting! And utterly nerve-racking at the same time!
