Horseplayers cashing winning tickets at New York Racing Association (NYRA) tracks can now share their good fortune with retired Thoroughbreds by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) at self-service AmTote betting terminals.

Beginning on Wood Memorial Day, Saturday, April 7, at Aqueduct Racetrack, horseplayers cashing a winning ticket through self-service terminals will be prompted with a pop-up interface to make a donation to the TAA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. If the bettor chooses to donate, the terminal will issue a receipt indicating both the donation amount as well as the TAA’s 501(c)(3) identification number. The remaining balance will then be issued in the form of a voucher.

One hundred percent of all donations made through AmTote terminals will go toward the TAA’s efforts to retire, retrain, and rehome Thoroughbreds following their racing careers
