Popular gelding Brass Hat (Prized) will make an appearance at Ellis Park for Sunday's Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Day. Commemorative Brass Hat posters will be given out with the opportunity to have them signed by trainer Buff Bradley and jockey Calvin Borel. Brass Hat will also be in the paddock to interact with the public midway through the racing program.
“Racehorses are good to us, and we owe it to be good to them once their racing days are over,” said Ellis Park racing secretary Dan Bork. “Brass Hat while racing was a crowd favorite and great ambassador for the sport, and he continues to be in retirement. We want to keep building on TAA Day to raise awareness that horse racing takes seriously the responsibility to care for our retired performers.”
Now 16 years old, the Grade I winner of over $2.17 million has been in retirement at Bradley's Indian Ridge Farm in Franklin, Ky.
