The certified public accounting firm Dean Dorton will sponsor GI Kentucky Derby contender Tax (Arch) in all three Triple Crown races. Owned by R. A. Hill Stable, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Hugh Lynch and Corms Racing Stable's and trained by Danny Gargan, Tax won the GIII Withers S. and was most recently second in the GII Wood Memorial.
“This is a great opportunity to promote the Dean Dorton brand and our deeply rooted history of serving equine clients on one of the world's biggest and most historic stages,” said David Bundy, President and CEO of Dean Dorton.
Dean Dorton's new logo will be seen on jockey Junior Alvarado's pants, silks and boots.
The sponsorship was initiated when Reeves Thoroughbreds' Patti Reeves reconnected with longtime friend Donna Logsdon, an employee of the CPA firm.
“There isn't a better fit for a horse named Tax,” said Patti Reeves, co-owner of Tax with her husband Dean.
