The Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) will receive more than $7,500 as a result of a fundraiser leading up to I’ll Have Another’s attempt at winning racing’s Triple Crown, which was cut short due to a tendon injury.

According to a June 21 TCA statement, the fundraiser began when Patti Davis, a Chicago, Ill.-based racing writer, and Jen Roytz, director of marketing and communications at Three Chimneys Farm in Versailles, Ky. (home of I’ll Have Another’s sire Flower Alley), began encouraging people to paint their toenails purple in support of the colt’s Triple Crown bid.

"The fundraiser took shape when (owners) Mr. and Mrs. Reddam, (trainer) Doug O’Neill’s team, and (jockey) Mario Gutierrez pledged to donate $20 to Thoroughbred Charities of America for anyone who donned a purple pedicure and posted a photo of the pedicure on the I’ll Have Another Pedicure Facebook page by midnight on June 9," the statement read.

Nearly 380 people posted photos of their purple pedicures to bring the total donation to $7,520
