Connections of Oaks Hopeful to Donate Percentage of Purse to RRP

Double Doors Racing, LLC, owners of GII Twinspires.com Fair Grounds Oaks winner Chocolate Martini (Broken Vow), have agreed to donate 5% of any earnings from the filly's run in the GI Kentucky Oaks to the Retired Racehorse Project. The funds will go toward helping the organization's mission of increasing the value and demand for Thoroughbreds once they retire from racing. Double Doors Racing will also donate an additional 5% of Chocolate Martini's Oaks earnings to the Backside Learning Center.

“Our love of horse racing stems from our love for the horses,” co-owner for Double Doors Racing Amanda DaBruzzo said. “As such, we recognize and appreciate that the real stars in horse racing are these tremendous athletes. Double Doors Racing is committed to ensuring that all horses, not just the champions, have a bright future after their time on the track. We hope that our commitment to the Retired Racehorse Project will further their mission and this cause.”
