Breeders' Cup Hats Auction Through Jan. 15

Flightline hat among those up for bid

After the Finish Line's 7th Annual Charity Auction of Breeders' Cup Hats, which kicked off Jan. 8, lasts for one week, and is one of After the Finish Line's fundraisers that benefits its grantmaking activity. After the Finish Line's sponsor, the Georgia B. Ridder Foundation, honors the lifetime work of its founder, Georgia B. Ridder, who owned Alphabet Soup, the 1996 Breeders' Cup Classic champion. The Retired Racehorse Project has partnered with After the Finish Line, and will receive a portion of proceeds.

Up for bid are 115 iconic purple Breeders' Cup hats from the 2022 World Championships at Keeneland. They are typically only available for the connections of Breeders' Cup entrants.

“This auction brings aftercare and horse racing fans together in a unique way,” said Dawn Mellen, president and founder of After the Finish Line. “Fans can bid on the official hats of their favorite racehorses to benefit off-track Thoroughbreds. This raises awareness about the importance of aftercare for the racing community. We are excited to build a bridge between racing and aftercare with this annual eBay auction.”
