When drivers Hunter Myers and Tony Hall went down in an accident in the thirteenth race at Northfield Park on May 26, trainer Billy Rhoades got the idea to set up a drivers relief fund.

Rhoades is seeking to raise $10,000 for the purchase of a horse that will be raced by Rhoades Racing. All monies raised for and earned by this horse will go into an account to help injured drivers across the United States. Currently, Hall and Myers have a long road to recovery and the fund would help to cover their medical expenses and other needs.

All expenses in racing the relief fund horse will be covered by Rhoades Racing.

Donations can currently be made by cheque payable to 'Helping Hooves Driver Relief Fund' and are tax deductible. A PayPal account for the fund is being set up and will be available in the near future. Those wishing to donate can send cheques to Rhoades Racing in care of MGM Northfield Park, 10705 Northfield Rd., Northfield, OH 44067.

Those wanting more information can contact Rhoades Racing at [email protected].
