Gulfstream | Coglianese

Gulfstream Park has named Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare Inc. (CTA) as the official charity of the Clasico Internacional del Caribe Sunday, Dec. 8. Gulfstream remains the only pari-mutuel facility outside of Latin America or the Caribbean to play host to the event since its inception in 1966.

“Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare Inc. thanks Gulfstream Park and the Clasico del Caribe for their support of CTA and horses that are racing in Puerto Rico and other islands,” said CTA co-founder, director and vice president Shelley Blodgett. “CTA is a 501(c)(3) and Puerto Rico non-profit organization that is both Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredited and Platinum-rated by GuideStar. Over 1,200 U.S. Thoroughbreds race in Puerto Rico annually, and CTA is the only accredited Thoroughbred aftercare in the whole of the Caribbean. We are honored to serve our noble racehorses when their racing days are through, via retirement, rehabilitation, retraining, and adoption.”
