🏇 OPENING DAY IS HERE – JOIN ATAS AT THE RACES 🏇

Let’s kick off the season with the sound of bell ringing across Century Mile Racetrack and Casino.

Opening Day is here and we’re bringing the energy, momentum, and purpose to start the 2026 racing season right.

🕒 Post time: 3:45 PM

We’re proud to be working in collaboration once again with Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (Alberta Division) Horse Racing Alberta
Century Mile Racetrack and Casino
and HBPA of Alberta
because this industry works best when we move forward together.

We’ll be onsite all day enjoying the races and 💕🏇💕

*come find the ATAS booth and be part of what makes this industry work:
Breeding. Racing. Aftercare. Fans & Supporters. :)
All working together.

🎟 AT THE BOOTH
We’re here selling tickets for our $4,000 Dressage Saddle Package—stop by and get yours.

🔔 RING THE BELL – SEASON KICKOFF

This is where it gets fun.
When you donate, you ring the bell—loud, proud, and right there at the track—letting everyone know you’ve supported TB Aftercare and the horses beyond racing.

All month long, every $5 donation (at the track, online, or through our booth) gets you:
🎯 1 ballot toward a Prize Package valued at over $200, including:
Betting vouchers
Swag
And a few fun extras you’ll actually want ;)

🤝 GET INVOLVED
Come talk to us about becoming a sponsor and being recognized throughout the season at tiered levels—there’s a place for everyone to be part of the impact.

🐎 Whether you’re here for Opening Day or celebrating the Kentucky Derby, come out and enjoy a full day at the races—the horses, the atmosphere, the people, and the momentum building across Alberta.

Come down, make some noise, support the industry, and be part of the season from day one.

Well Done! :) 💞🏇💞

Keeneland Association, Fasig-Tipton, Ocala Breeders' Sales, and a group of leading North American stallion farms announced April 27 a significant expansion of their financial commitment to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA).

ATAS was Expo Canada and racing & aftercare was front and centre. 🐎

At Alberta Thoroughbred Aftercare Society, we believe aftercare is not separate from racing....it’s part of what makes the industry stronger.

Yesterday’s panel, “Off the Track and On to Success,” moderated by Julie Brewster with Horse Racing Alberta, brought together industry leaders working across breeding, racing, and aftercare.

Our VP, Amanda Bennett, joined alongside:
🏇 Kirby Cassidy Kennedy — Alberta Quarter Horse Racing Association
🏇 Kathy Sunberg — Performance Standardbreds
🏇 Linds Turcotte — After The Wire

The discussion focused on what Aftercare is and what it looks like in Alberta for all 3 racing breeds... what support looks like for racehorses beyond the track — from top prospects to the more complex cases that require time, resources, and long-term commitment and how to get involved :)

This is what it looks like when the entire horse industry shows up.

💞 🐴 Breeding.🏇 Racing.🐎Aftercare.💞

All working together to rebuild momentum in Alberta.... bringing back generational horse people and opening the door for those just getting started.

All sectors of the equine industry in one place — working together to promote and strengthen Alberta breeding, racing, and aftercare, while reconnecting generational horse people and welcoming those new to the industry.

For ATAS, the goal is clear:
support the horses, support the industry, and ensure racing continues to thrive responsibly.

The level of engagement at the Horse Racing Alberta booth afterward showed just how many people are interested... not just in aftercare, but in the future of racing as a whole.

With over 20,000 attendees filling nearly every corner of Westerner Park, Horse Expo Canada continues to be a key platform to connect the entire Equine industry.

We are proud to be part of that and to play a role in strengthening both aftercare and racing together.

Thank you to Horse Racing Alberta for your continued support.

If you haven’t made it out yet, it’s on until 4:30 PM today & well worth the trip...

**We also collaborated with Century Mile Racetrack and Casino to provide a free program voucher for those who haven't been out to experience the races! 📖 :)**
(ps..it comes with a free entry ballot for an ATAS door prize when you come visit our booth while there as well)

& HRA has an amazing draw for a VIP group experience at either Century Downs Racetrack and Casino or Century Mile Racetrack and Casino... they are Booth 4423 by the horses in Breeder's Alley
**ATAS/aftercare advocate Maggie Northcott is also set up here with her beautiful TB stallion Tour de Force**🐴

We hope you can make it out :)
