LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 21, 2025): Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance announces its fourth annual Holiday Giving Campaign, running from Dec. 1 through Dec. 31, 2025. The campaign is designed to raise awareness for accredited Thoroughbred aftercare and to support organizations that ensure retired Thoroughbreds enjoy a quality life after their racing careers.

Resolute Racing had never run a horse in a claiming race prior to the sixth race at Churchill Downs Nov. 12. Yet, their first entry at the level may have meant even more to the team than a stakes runner would have, as it served as a crucial milestone for Awesome Hawaiian.

The fact that he was even in the starting gate may have been considered a miracle last year, not to mention that he won with authority.

Whether endowing an entrepreneurship competition he founded at his alma mater, Skidmore College, supporting disabled jockeys, or donating to Thoroughbred aftercare, Ken Freirich believes in leading by example, and last week at the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar, he was seemingly everywhere all at once, spreading the message.

“Sure did. It was non-stop,” he said a few days after the event when asked if he’d had fun.

As I sit down to write this final installment of Teddy Spaghetti’s road to the Thoroughbred Makeover, it is with great pride for how much he and our team accomplished there; huge appreciation for the family that allowed me the opportunity to take both their new 3-year-old OTTB and their 16-year-old daughter along for the ride; and a little bit of nostalgia that it’s over.
