“We have had several stars of the track through our doors over the years, from the 1984 Grand National winner Hallo Dandy, who was our flagship horse in the early years, to more recent arrivals like Mount Athos and Brae Hill. However, the vast majority are those horses who were not stars on the track, but have still contributed to the fabulous tapestry of British racing and deserve a chance of a fulfilling future when their racing days are done.
“We are very excited and hugely honoured to be the charity for QIPCO British Champions Day and delighted that this partnership gives us an opportunity to showcase the work the charity does, and hopefully raise some valuable funds to help our brilliant team continue their outstanding work.”
Rod Street, Chief Executive of British Champions Series, said:
“We are delighted The British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre is to be the official charity for QIPCO British Champions Day 2016 in their 25th anniversary year. The work they do is vital to ensuring that horses, who have given us so much pleasure during their careers on the track, go on to lead enjoyable and productive lives after retirement from racing.”
