California Retirement Management Account (CARMA)

CARMA is dedicated to the goal of providing funding for the rehabilitation, retraining and/or retirement of Thoroughbred horses that have raced in California.
(56)

California Retirement Management Account (CARMA) is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2007 to raise money for retired racehorses. It is responsible for hosting fundraising events, educating owners and trainers on equine retirement, raising awareness, and working to unify the racing industry in support of its equine athletes. Ways in which this is accomplished include facilitating the tran

sition of racehorses off the track through its Placement Program and showcasing the breed’s versatility as equestrian mounts at its Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show. CARMA worked closely with the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) to adopt a rule change allowing for a 0.03% deduction from purses to help fund equine retirement. This deduction which owners can “opt-out” of if they so choose, is used to support Thoroughbred retirement farms and other non-profit programs that care for and retrain retired racehorses. CARMA manages a grant request process and since 2008 has awarded more than 4 million dollars to qualified retirement facilities caring for Thoroughbreds. Donations are tax-deductible and may be sent to: CARMA, 285 West Huntington Drive, Arcadia Ca, 91007. (Tax ID #80-0146395).

Happy graduation to Win the Day, who is now placed with Aftercare Charity Partner CANTER California.

Win the Day is a 2019 gelding by Midshipman who earned $271,516 in just 16 starts. Win was at Breeders Cup in 2022 at Keeneland and in 2023 at Santa Anita, running both years in the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Stakes. In 2023, he placed 2nd in the TAA Stakes and later retired due to a suspensory.

This impressive gelding is a handsome one with a great presence to him. We are excited to hear updates on his progress towards his next career.
