Thoroughbred Charities of America will honor Dan Rosenberg with the Allaire du Pont Leadership Award and Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare (CTA) with the Ellen and Herb Moelis Industry Service Award at the 28th annual Stallion Season Auction & Celebration, presented by LNJ Foxwoods, Sunday,
Jan. 7, 2018 at the Keeneland Entertainment Center in Lexington, Ky.
The Allaire du Pont Leadership Award, named for one of TCA's founders, is presented annually to an organization or individual whose philanthropic endeavors are consistent with TCA's mission. Past award winners include Barbara Banke, Bourbon Lane Stable, Graham and Anita Motion, Frank Stronach, Fasig-Tipton, Darley, Todd Pletcher, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, Bill Casner and John and Debby Oxley.
Rosenberg, owner of Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting, became involved with TCA shortly after its founding in 1990.
“Dan has been a driving force in TCA's success over the years,” said Mike McMahon, president of TCA. “He has been involved with TCA since its infancy and continues to lend his guidance, time, and leadership in support of our mission. There aren't enough awards to thank Dan for all he has done for TCA. We are equally pleased to honor Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare for their heroic efforts in leading the charge after the devastating hurricanes in the Caribbean.”
The Ellen and Herb Moelis Industry Service Award is presented annually to an organization that works to uphold TCA's mission. Past award winners include Backstretch Employee Service Team (B.E.S.T.), The Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Incentive Program, CANTER USA, Retired Racehorse Project, Belmont Child Care Association, Old Friends, Kentucky Equine Humane Center, Mid-Atlantic Horse Rescue, New Vocations, and Tranquility Farms.
Incorporated in 2016 but in operation for more than a decade, Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare (CTA) works to facilitate the rehoming of retiring Thoroughbreds from the islands of Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas, with many returning to the U.S. mainland. In September, CTA faced unprecedented challenges when Hurricanes Irma and Maria ravaged the Caribbean. Thousands of Thoroughbreds were in the hurricanes' path on the islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas, and Puerto Rico. CTA not only provided direct care to horses affected by the hurricanes, but also mobilized a team of organizations to assist in the relief efforts.
