LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Open House July 9

LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society, a registered charity mandated to provide a dignified retirement from racing for Ontario’s Thoroughbreds, is excited to announce that there will be an Open House held at our Hillsburgh farm on Saturday, July 9th, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00p.m., after a pandemic-forced hiatus of three years.

The public will be able to tour the 100-acre property and meet many of its 50 residents, including 2017 Canadian Horse of the Year Pink Lloyd, champions Fifty Proof, Riker, Rahy’s Attorney, Rare Friends, millionaire Something Extra and other horses familiar to racegoers.

Demonstrations, merchandise sales, and a prize draw will also be a part of the day’s festivities.

A minimum donation of $10.00 per person for non-sponsors is suggested.

Those interested in attending can contact LongRun by phone (416-675-3993 ext. 1-3440) or email (info@longrunretirement.com) for further details.
