After the Finish Line Breeders’ Cup Cap Auction to Include the RRP

November 28, 2020
IMG 7826

We are honored to be partnering with

After the Finish Line

for its fifth annual Charity Auction of Breeders’ Cup Caps!

The trainers, breeding farms, and owners of your favorite horses that raced in the

Breeders’ Cup World Championships

donated a one-of-a-kind official Breeders’ Cup hat to raise money for our organization. Each hat has the name of the racehorse and is not sold to the public. This hat is truly one-of-a-kind for the fans! They are great for horse racing memorabilia collectors and make wonderful holiday gifts for family and friends. Or, gift it to yourself.

The auction of the Serengeti Empress cap will benefit the RRP. Serengeti Empress is a fan favorite who just retired after the 2020 Breeders’ Cup with a final race record of seven wins in 19 starts and earnings over $2 million. Her notable victories include the Gr. 2 Pocahontas Stakes, the Gr. 2 Rachel Alexandra Stakes, the Gr. 1 Longines Kentucky Oaks, the Gr. 2 Azeri Stakes and the Gr. 1 Ballerina Stakes. She made three career appearances at the Breeders’ Cup, most recently in the Filly and Mare Sprint in early November where she finished second. Serengeti Empress will be bred to Into Mischief for her first foal!
Want to bid? The auction opens on Sunday, November 29 at 7 PM ET, and you will find ALL of the caps at https://www.ebay.com/str/afterthefinishline.
