Beginning Nov. 23 and ending Nov. 30, the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC), an industry 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, will auction off halters of famous broodmares, racehorses, and stallions on its eBay page. 

All proceeds will go toward the RMTC’s grant program to fund critical tactical research into detecting and identifying illicit substances in racehorses.

In addition to a halter auction held in 2017, the RMTC has pursued contributions from other industry groups and individuals to match funds provided by the RMTC. So far, The Jockey Club, Jockeys’ Guild and American Quarter Horse Association have made donations toward studies funded through this program
