Santa Anita raised nearly $13,000 for the aftercare foundation CARMA through 1,000 plush horses donated by the Mathis Brothers on opening day of the meet Dec. 28. “We are so delighted to have been a part of this year's Opening Day at Santa Anita and to raise money for such a worthy cause,” said Bill Mathis, President, Mathis Brothers Furniture. “There is no greater cause in racing today than Thoroughbred Aftercare and we'd like to thank Santa Anita, CARMA and the many fans who donated on Saturday. We are proud to be a part of this effort and we salute Santa Anita and CARMA for the good work they are doing.”
