The Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) has announced a lineup of ten Thoroughbred ex-racehorses being trained in ten equestrian disciplines by ten prominent trainers for a purse of $10,000. The teams make up "America’s Most Wanted Thoroughbred Contest," an event designed to educate the public about the versatility and trainability of Thoroughbreds that have raced.

Retired Racehorse Project’s website features pages for each horse where training updates and videos will be posted as the horses prepare for appearances on Oct. 4-5 at the Thoroughbred Makeover: a Marketplace and National Symposium at Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore, Maryland. The winners will be determined by popular vote and the input of celebrity judges.

“This is the fourth competition that RRP has organized to prove to the public that Thoroughbreds off the track are the most trainable, generous, and talented four-legged animals on the planet,” said RRP’s founder Steuart Pittman. “The trainers this time are some of the best in their disciplines and the past racing connections of the horses are engaged. Everyone is in it for the horses and the result will be a larger and better educated market of buyers and adopters.”

Bourbon Lane Stables partner and RRP vice president Carolyn Karlson added, “As a racing owner nothing is more important to me than educating equestrians who might someday own and care for one of these horses. These ten horses and trainers will inspire us and they will inspire the public
