The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation's Second Annual Online Holiday Auction fundraiser, which began Nov. 21 and will run through Dec. 5 at 10 p.m. EST, offers items celebrating the careers of Triple Crown winners Secretariat, American Pharoah and Affirmed, as well as legends like Man o' War and Seabiscuit. All auction items have been donated to the TRF and proceeds will benefit the TRF's herd of former racehorses.
Items include halters worn by American Pharoah and champion filly Songbird, Secretariat's identification package, autographed photos of Affirmed and Alydar, a bronze of Man o' War and a framed, limited-edition news package of Seabiscuit's match race victory over 1937 Triple Crown winner War Admiral. Memorabilia related to John Henry and Funny Cide are also available, as well as signed goggles and whips worn by Hall of Fame jockeys John Velazquez, Laffit Pincay, Jr., Jerry Bailey and Edgar Prado.
