The horse rescue group CANTER, based in northern and southern California, is hosting a fundraiser during the Del Mar meet on Sunday, August 16th at Yogi's (Yogi's is providing all of the food for free!). You can watch the season premier of Jockeys with some of the actual jockeys in the show and they're having a silent auction with some really good items. I donated two of the Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby bottles signed by the artist Tom Chapman and they also have halters from Lava Man and Zenyatta along with a lot of other great items.
I'll be in Del Mar that weekend for the races and will be attending the event, I hope to see you there!
Here's the info from CANTER's site:
