LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society, Woodbine's local Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) accredited non-profit dedicated to caring and retraining retired Thoroughbreds, will host a 50/50 raffle this week leading up to Saturday's 167th King's Plate.
The 50/50 raffle is open to participants across Ontario and tickets will be available for purchase online via the LongRun 50/50 Raffle website. It will run from Monday, Aug. 10 through King's Plate Day Saturday, Aug. 15. Tickets are available for $10 for 5 tickets, $25 for 25 tickets, $50 for 100 tickets, or $100 for 250 tickets. Half of the funds will be donated directly to LongRun, while the other half will go to one lucky draw winner.
In addition to the online portal, LongRun representatives will also be on-site at The King's Plate selling raffle tickets and connecting with race fans. The winning ticket will be drawn following The King's Plate race, at approximately 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. The winner will be notified by email.
