Thornton Four years ago, when Speak Logistics was a promising 2-year-old whose pair of wins from three starts earned him a berth in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile, Eddie Plesa Jr. pledged a percentage of the trainer=s share earnings he might win from the $2-million race to New Vocations, the nation=s largest rehabilitation and placement program for retired racehorses. The generosity wasn=t surprising to Anna Ford, the Thoroughbred program director for New Vocations, because ever since the organization started its annual Breeders= Cup pledge fundraiser back in 2009, AEddie, every year that he=s had a horse run, he=s pledged.@ Speak Logistics finished seventh in that 2012 Breeders= Cup Juvenile, and ended up winning only one more race from 24 subsequent starts. This past June, when the gelding was struggling at the $15,000 claiming level at Parx, Plesa had a frank conversation with owner Ralph Nabavi (Hardway Stables) about what to do next. AI told him what our options were,@ Plesa recalled earlier this week. AWe could drop him into a low-class claiming race, win a race or two, possibly get him claimed. Or we could give him the opportunity to get adopted through New Vocations.@ Cont. p3 Champion Sprinter in 7-length debut and Sire of Sires romp at Keeneland Won Dwyer S.

Plesa continued, ARalph chose New Vocations. He not only sent them the horse, but a nice donation along with the horse. He could have realized some extra money by continuing to race-- maybe $10,000 or $20,000. But it would have been a detriment to the horse, and Ralph certainly appreciated what the horse had done for him, so he had no problem doing the right thing by the horse.@ So on July 20, one month after his final race, Speak Logistics was vanned to one of the four New Vocations re-homing facilities. In an odd twist of fate, the gelding has come back to benefit from a financial commitment to equine aftercare that his connections made years ago. Remarkably, Speak Logistics is not the first such Breeders= Cup pledge horse to find a new way of life through New Vocations. Romp (Arg) ran in both the 2010 and 2012 versions of the Breeders= Cup Marathon (Grade III and Grade II, respectively). AAnd so it was pretty cool to have Romp=s owners pledge, and then Speak Logistics= connections pledged, and years later the horses themselves ended up coming into our program,@ Ford said. With this year=s Thoroughbred world championships four weeks away, New Vocations is once again embarking on its Breeders= Cup pledge drive, which in recent years has garnered the non-profit organization between $45,000 and $110,000 annually. The tax-deductible donations are based on a percentage of Breeders= Cup earnings chosen voluntarily by participants. Ford said that even though the fund drive officially starts this week, New Vocations knows to expect a flurry of pledges at the last minute, largely because owners and trainers need to finalize pre-entry and entry plans before committing. Her team of staffers will be reaching out to Breeders= Cup-bound connections, but pledge forms are available online at www.horseadoption.com under the AHow to Help@ section.

AThe best thing is, there=s no overhead cost to us,@ Ford said. AWe make the connections and make the calls and send the emails asking people to pledge, and then the horses are the show. We just sit back and see how everybody does.@ Last year=s tally of $110,000 in pledges was the high-donation mark for the Breeders= Cup fundraiser, Ford said. AWe had two winners whose connections pledged last year-- Stopchargingmaria and Wavell Avenue,@ Ford said. ASo it is a gamble for us. It=s not a set fundraiser. It=s one thing to get the pledges, but it helps to get the right pledges,@ she added with a laugh. AFor the most part, people who have donated horses to us, and then end up having other horses run in the Breeders= Cup, tend to pledge because they already know what we are about and what we do, and they=re happy to do that,@ Ford said. AAnybody that runs in the Breeders= Cup is excited, and when you think about it, what=s 1% if you win to give back to aftercare? You only have to give if your horse comes in the money. But we=ve had people pledge, and the horse doesn=t run well, but they still send a check anyway.@ Ford said New Vocations can house a maximum of 130 retired Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds at a time. Its main stabling location is at the historic 85-acre Mereworth Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, where the the Susan S. Donaldson Foundation has offered New Vocations a free, long-term lease to build a to build a premier retraining and re-homing facility. Other New Vocations farms are in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, and in Laurelville and Marysville, Ohio. All are accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), which means the facilities have been determined to have met or exceeded TAA requirements in the areas of operations, education, horse care management, and adoption policies and protocols.

About 90% of horses taken in by New Vocations are able to be re-homed as Ariding sound,@ Ford said, most within 60 days of being retrained. Prospective adoptive owners must pass an extensive application and background check that screens for horsemanship experience and the financial ability to care long-term for a retired racer. New Vocations follows re-homed horses closely, requiring updates from new owners, which are then passed along to the previous owners who donated the horses into the program.

Most of the houses are built of pale stone, topped with roofs of red tiles - a type of architecture more usually found in North Yorkshire. With its riverside developments and air of prosperity, the Wetherby of today is a favoured place to live. The flat, arable landscape, too, is very different to Pennine Yorkshire. Here, on the fringes of the Vale of York, the soil is rich and dark and productive - the fields divided up by fences and hedgerows rather than dry-stone walls. The town has a long history. A brief glance at an Ordnance Survey map reveals that Wetherby grew up around a tight curve in the River Wharfe. Its importance as a river crossing was recognised by the building of a castle, possibly in the 12th century, of which only the foundations remain. The first mention of a bridge was in 1233. A few years later, in 1240, the Knights Templar were granted a royal charter to hold a market in Wetherby.
