This week marks the final week of the 2023 National Caretaker Appreciation Day (NCAD) events, which recognize and reward caretakers for their hard work and commitment to the Standardbred racing industry.
Fraser Downs will host NCAD on Thursday, Sept. 14 and Inverness Raceway will finish off the celebrations on Sunday, Sept. 17.
Over the past two weeks, caretakers have been recognized through various events at racetracks around the nation. Events include post-parade announcements, winner’s circle presentations, gift card giveaways, draw prizes, complimentary win pictures, refreshments and more.
Standardbred Canada (SC) would like to thank the racetracks, associations and sponsors for their participation and contributions.
SC’s 2023 photo contest theme for NCAD is “Horses & Heart Set Us Apart” and we’re looking for photos that capture the special bond between a human and a horse. Click here for more information and be sure to submit your entries before Sept. 14!
SC had the opportunity to sit down with industry caretakers as they shared valuable insights about their work. Thank you to the caretakers who dedicated their time for our Faces of Racing series. Check out the following links for the inside details:
