R A C E Fund Inc

The RaceFund is a top notch nonprofit raising many thousands of dollars to help rescue countless OTTBS. The best interest of the horses is always at the forefront.. we have networked with them for 12 years, and quite honestly their professionalism and dedication to their mission is unmatched. Pictured here is Buddy Bud, who they rescued last fall and permanently placed here with us serving veterans in our therapy program.

This organization saves abandoned Horses in feed lots from slaughter. They work countless hours securing the safety of these majestic animals and they work to educate others about the on going problem of slaughter. The compassion they show the unwanted and abandoned is inspiring

This is a great organization that helps horses who are at the end of their track career. Without them some of these horses have no future. Selfless volunteers who go the extra mile to ensure the safety and well being of these horses.

An amazing organization that works hard to rescue, rehab and home off the track thoroughbreds, giving them a second chance.

This is a compassionate group of individuals doing the right thing for our equine friends. We are lucky to have them and I hope this organization can stay strong.

The people who care for and monitor the horses are of the highest caliber.
They are dedicated to delivering excellent care.
They deliver good quality feed,and plenty of turnout.
The horses are loved.

Great organization!!!! I 100% support them and their efforts in all they do.

This is a great nonprofit organization that takes such good care of their horses. They are knowledgeable and caring.

RACE Fund Inc. is an amazing organization. Through their efforts, many horses lives have been saved and placed into safe environments where they can live their lives in safety.

RACE Fund Inc has saved many off track thoroughbreds from the auction to slaughter pipeline.
They make sure all the bases are covered: Cost of bail, transport and quarantine.
I'm sure my contribution is going to good use whenever I hit that donate button on a RACE Fund Inc fundraiser.

Every single time we needed to get a Thoroughbred rescued from the kill pen, RACE FUND came through. They helped us save a half blind 2 year old colt and an emaciated 3 year old filly. These are 2 of the sweetest horses I've ever known. If RACE FUND wouldn't have provided their bail, they would have suffered a most horrific end. Because of RACE FUND and their dedication to saving lives, these horses are happy, content and blossoming. These are my first Thoroughbreds, and the youngest horses I've ever had, so i had a pretty steep learning curve. RACE FUND follows up on their beneficiaries, and helps with advice regarding their ongoing care to ensure they fully recover from their ordeal, and live the best life possible. It's hard to get my work done since the half blind one joined my herd. He's all up next to me, "helping"! I'm so grateful to the RACE FUND and TRNL for making my family so complete, and for restoring my faith in humanity.

RACE Fund Inc is a selfless organization that always places the welfare of the horse over the sport. I’m interested in Thoroughbred history, and often submit the names of famous horses in the featured horse’s pedigree, encouraging other fans to donate. This organization is responsible for saving the lives of Thoroughbreds in the worst possible situations, and providing them with the opportunity for a secure retirement. They are a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) approved organization, only one of 81 such charities in the United States. The best part of this group is their commitment to the horse’s safety, and follow up comments on social media regarding fund raising and the horse’s placement. RACE Fund Inc is a Thoroughbred’s best friend, especially when he needs one. I give them my highest recommendation.

This organization is amazing! They work tirelessly to rescue, rehab and home off the track thoroughbreds. This organization helps educate people on OTTBs with their versatility and worth beyond the track.

Many years of working with RACE Fund and Marlene. This organization does an amazing job of saving off the track thoroughbreds. They work tirelessly to help these horses. I highly recommend this organization.

Wonderful nonprofit dedicated to saving downtrodden racehorses from slaughter… R.A.C.E. Fund has saved so many horses and engaged a wide audience on their social media… they are great!

I have watched week after week as RACE fund rescues and saves countless thoroughbreds from kill brokers across the United States. When RACE fund publicly fundraises to save a thoroughbred their followers help them because they trust RACE fund will do right by the thoroughbreds in need. Wonderful organization that constantly is there for the thoroughbreds .

R.A.C.E works tirelessly to rescue and find homes for horses from auctions around the country. Many Thoroughbreds are dumped at auctions that kill buyers frequent. Transported to Mexico to a slaughter house and sold by the pound the horses meet a gruesome death.
R.A.C.E. works with spotters at the auctions to identify and raise funds to buy the horse.Through mostly small donations and a few kind stables many horses are rescued.
Thanks to R.A.C.E. horses have gone onto productive and secure homes.

The Race Fund is responsible for saving the lives of so many off the track thoroughbreds, and making sure they receive care and live, and a home from where they will never be sent to slaughter. Bravo!!!!!

They do incredible work with ex-racehorses to save them from dangerous situations and find them new homes. I am so thankful for all of the hard work and effort they put into our animals!

This group is top notch all the way! They really know how to find excellent homes for rescued race horses, & continue to follow up with those rescues throughout their lifetime.

I have been following this NP for a couple of years and have witnessed all the amazing work they do. I was an exercise rider for many years and it warms my heart to see how much work and effort this organization puts into saving Thoroughbreds. It’s organizations like this one that pick up the pieces where the racing industry has miserably failed. Need more organizations like this one.

While I have no personal experience with R.A.C.E Fund since I live in South Africa, I have been following them on social media for years. What they do for the horses they rescue is just amazing ❤️ The dedication towards their cause is clearly evident and the compassion and love they have for these animals is heartwarming to see ❤️������ The lives of these horses matter just as much as ours.

I am always impressed with Marlene and her volunteers. I’ve seen their informational tables set up at events. They are sincere and so hard-working. They truly care about the horses Who come off the track and are in need!

Great non profit that helps save horses, race horses. Please donate to them.

Their executive director has dedicated her life to fair, kind, responsible treatment of thoroughbreds, both on the track, and those coming off. She brings awareness and aid, especially for those who have no future in a second career. Many rescues are from slaughter/abuse. RACEfund is a tremendous advocate, reminding all that ALL thoroughbreds deserve respect and care, not just the rideable ones. RACEfund generously advocates for other rescues in need...truly generous. The needs of the unrideables is often lost in the enthusiasm generated by "second career" groups: RACEfund keeps them front and center.

They are a awesome bunch of
People. Who really care for the horses and go beyond to help save a life.

I help to get thoroughbred’s out of bad situations by identifying them from their tattoos. Numerous times I’ve turned to Race Fund for advice and/or help in getting these thoroughbreds into a safe situation. Time after time Race Fund was immediately responsive and has saved many many lives. I’m truly greatful this organization exists. They are one of the few orgs I trust

Helping rescue the sensitive emotionally intelligent beautiful creatures.

This is a wonderful organization giving these thoroughbreds a chance of finding a loving home!

Caring people working to support horses from the racetracks that are often forgotten. These horses have had a hard and at times traumatic life, so having kind, respectful people helping and caring for them is filling an important need. Thank you for all you do to help these horses!

Exceptional people to deal with, and are extremely caring, conscientious and dedicated to helping Thoroughbreds no matter where they are. By far one of the best rescues ever. I highly recommend them!������

Very down to earth people, they go out of their way to care and help the horses. I get pictures and updates of the horse I’ve sponsored regularly. I highly recommend RACE.

RACEFUND is the most legitimate rescue I have been associated with...honest, hardworking folks that bend over backwards to help horses!!

I have to say i love Race Fund. We got our girl trippin star from the. They did such a great job with her. She is an awesone horse. Thank you guys.

The Race Fund continues to be fully dedicated to helping TBs in need, as well as continuing to make efforts to educate people about the plight that many racehorses often face after their races days are over. They are truly a Top Notch organization!!

RACE Fund Inc. is an amazing, helpful organization. I could never say enough good about them. They are so dedicated and knowledgeable. The care they provide is unmatched. They are always there to help, in addition to all the lives they save they also help so much behind the scenes whether it be helping ID a Thoroughbred's tattoo or figuring out where a horse in need has raced and what programs may be available for them. They are top-notch an make a huge difference every day. Thank you for all you do. I'm so grateful.....

I’ve had the pleasure of working with RACE Fund as we rescued 2 young OTTB mares from shipping to slaughter. Marlene was absolutely wonderful to work with, we saved the mares and Marlene checks on them frequently. RACE Fund is truly dedicated to protecting thoroughbreds after their racing career is over and finding their next career.

We recently adopted two absolutely beautiful horses from R A C E Fund, Inc. I was amazed at what a first class operation it was. They were so wonderful to work with. The horses were in incredible shape. They were taken such good care of we have had to adjust to keep up with them. Just kidding, they really were amazing. They continue to stay in close contact with us and continue to love the horses even though they are no longer there with them. We are so greatful and appreciative of what they did for us. Words can't describe how highly I would recommend them.

I had been looking to rescue a thoughbred off the track. Wanted to save a life. I looked on many pages. Came across Race Fund. They were so helpful in me finding the perfect horse and the process was quick which I love. My Trippin Star. She is so sweet and she is so good . She was everything they said she was. Highly recommend them. They are going great work. And saving these beautiful animals from slaughter.

My very first thoroughbred adoption has been made a beautiful, reassuring process. The ottb coming home to me has been so well cared for and truly given the love and attention he deserved after being rescued from a kill pen. Even after my adoption was approved, he has been ridden regularly to keep him in great health until I pick him up! This is above and beyond what I’ve seen any rescue provide!

I am so grateful that the RACE Fund has helped with so many Thoroughbred rescues. Winning that last race into a safe and forever home is the most important part of OTTB After care. The RACE Fund goes above and beyond to keep retiring thoroughbreds on a safe path and out of the slaughter pipeline.

Proud to be a part of great organization that is helping so many horses.

We quarantined a TB this rescue helped facilitate in getting out of a kill pen. They were nothing short of professional to deal with, with the best interest of the horse in mind. They kept in contact with us as we did them with updates on the horses condition etc while in quarantine. They ensured that we had the horses feet done as his feet were overgrown over his shoes and paid promptly for the farrier service. We also had the opportunity to transport the rescue horse to his new owner out of state, of which they helped to facilitate that as well. Great Rescue to support. They genuinely work hard to ensure the horses have great care.

I've worked with RACE fund personally. They do a very thorough vetting and progress check on every horse they home. They keep the horses best interest first. Top notch organization!

Jersey Joe C was retired from racing by a trainer who thought he was doing the right thing. Two years later this poor horse ended up in a kill auction. The previous trainer was contacted and immediately said that he hadn't seen a horse in two years but he wanted that horse saved. He couldn't afford the bail at that time but was willing to repay it if someone could just come up with the money to save this horse. RaceFund stepped in without hesitation and this horse is now safely back with his breeder. Those of us who try to save the warhorses of racing are forever indebted!

Fantastic non profit. Marlene genuinely cares for each and every horse she saves. This is a life long passion for her.

I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into the RACE fund to help the horses. Such a great cause.

RACE Fund is a great rescue organization; Marlene truly cares about the best placement of the horses and will do everything to ensure they are taken care of and loved. The organization is well run with frequent checks on adopted horses.

I have worked with this organization for several years. They are truly a wonderful group that had helped save so many horses from slaughter. Trustworthy and honest and above board in all of their interactions. I am very pleased to continue my support for this group.

I have found the RACE Fund to be an excellent rescue to work with. I like their honest approach, total transparency and above all their dedication to helping thoroughbreds in need. If you're looking for the cream of the crop in Thorouhbred rescue look no further. RACE Fund sits heads and shoulders above the others.

RACE Fund is an amazing organization. I have worked with them in helping numerous TBs over the years. I cannot say enough about their high character, integrity and their ongoing dedication to their cause!

These wonderful angles found my friend's beautiful boy at a kill pen, he was in such bad shape I would have never known him. These angels got him back to his old self:)

I believe the RACE Fund is truly a blessing. Made up of people that truly care about saving horses to live out the rest of their lives in peace and comfort. True animal lovers.

I have found that R.A.C.E. Fund is the real thing when it comes to truly working on rescuing horses at risk. They dont stop til the job is done with every single case they take on. They are honest, diligent and have a solid reputation within both sides of the industry - the rescue organizations and the racing sie. They set a fine example of how to handle delicate situations. They have aleays followed thru on their commitments. An exemplary non-profit for sure.

This organization supports the thoroughbred - providing care to those who can no longer race or breed - those that are in need of a new home or a new career. This organization stepped in to assist a mare who had fallen from radar - was removed from a good life - she was the Daughter of Alydar. Her story is heartbreaking - but this organization stepped up along with others to save her and gave her a loving and well deserved life = I support them - they are top notch and they provide valuable care.

I have contributed directly to this organization without any qualms about how the money is being spent. I know they can save as many horses as possible through good financial management. They are very thorough in all their fundraising events. They have excellent legal support as well. They work tirelessly to educate the public against slaughter of horses and work constantly to take horses from the racetrack to retrain them for another carear.

I adopted A Sharp, aka Storm, in November of 2014. Marlene also has another retired tb at the same farm I boarded from, a wonderful boy named chocolate knight. Race fund is very methodical in chosen the right home for a retired race horse. They are genuinely concerned for the horse, and continue to be involved in their lives. I speak with them regularly, and am blessed that my horse was rescued and cared for by this wonderful group of people.

The most proffessional, expericed and compassionate organization dedicated to the resuce, rehabiliation and securing a permanent home for America's treasured Off the Track Throroughbred horses. It is my pleasure to donate to this cause. I was personally touched as well as our community by one such horse who was known to us in 2013. "Quiet Dare". It was an honor to photograph him upon his arrival home to his owner, Sara. Thank you RACE Fund for all the love and efforts to secure his safety along with all the other horses I have witnessed since that time. What an awesome group of women doing God's work. God Bless you for your continued dedication.

Finding another life for a racehorse that can not race is what we ALL need to do. R.A.C.E. is doing just that. They have been WONDERFUL in their efforts!

RACE Fund literally is a lifesaver for OTTBs. Our small group of friends rescued a son of Honor And Glory named Noggin Dude. He needed a safe harbor with people who care after his difficult experience. Marlene and Craig were amazing and Dude has blossomed under their good care. I would aalways tr
ust them implicitly.

excellent job. Very hard working. OTTB rescue group should be run like this!

This organization helps fill and extremely important function, helping to find homes for retired TB race horses, ones that the industry does not help (shame on the race industry). They do it right, and the needs of the horse always come first. I hope to be in a position soon to accept one or more of these magnificent beings.

I met a gorgeous OTTB at a local rescue. I was considering adopting him and found out the next day he suffered a leg fracture that could heal with stall rest or may need surgery. He needed more than two mo this to rehab and that rescue just could not give him what he needed. The RACE fund took him back and gave him the care he needed. A noble race horse who deserve a retirement and excellent care! They truly care for these Horses and it is a wonderful organization!!!!! There should be more that are honest like this one and jot out to make a profit !!!! It's all for the horses!

Race fund is a fantastic organization. They have saved many lives including one very dear to my heart.

The R.A.C.E. Fund is one of the best organizations out there helping thoroughbred horses retire from racing. Their number one concern is the horses.

The R.AC.E Fund is a very trustworthy organization that truly puts the horses welfare first. This is the reason I support them. You can bet that when you send a donation it will be used for horse care. Marlene Murray has always gone out of her way to help horses in need, and she is excellent at keeping donors and the public updated on the progress of the horses the R.A.C.E Fund saves.

I can't say enough about this organization! They stepped up when my Thoroughbred needed help......providing temporary housing, and facilitating his placement and transportation to a Foundation for retired racehorses, that I was ultimately was able to adopt him from.

Their professionalism is unmatched. Years later, they were able to find me on Facebook, and actually reached out to me to see how he was doing! They were very excited to follow up on a horse they once cared for, proving how much they care for all the horses they have ever helped.

My horse has brought more joy and purpose to my life than I ever thought possible, and I am forever grateful for the tireless and often thankless work that R.A.C.E. Fund does!!!

There is absolutely no doubt about it, the R.A.C.E. Fund is one of the best organizations there is. They are extremely professional, caring, knowledgeable and very well respected to say the least. I would trust their opinions and judgement without hesitation as they always have the best interests and welfare of the horses as a top priority. To say that they work diligently towards protecting these horses for life is an understatement. I cannot say enough good things about them and I cannot thank them enough for what they are doing and have done for these horses - they are No. 1 in my book.

The R.A.C.E. Fund is a first-class organization that not only finds adequate retirment homes for racehorses, but also follows up on them for years after the initial sale to ensure they have not slipped through the cracks. There is no better rescue organization than RACE Fund and they should be commended for the fantastic work they do.

The R.A.C.E Fund is an organization that is helping to save unwanted race horses from slaughter and to find them new home with new "jobs". These aniamls have so much more to give than just winning a race.

The R.A.C.E. Fund truly was born out of compassion for race horses. The board members have lived their whole lives caring for race horses and now have an organization to help even more of them. You go girls!!! "Until They Are Safe". Thank you RACE Fund for believing that, "As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of other living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love." - Pythagoras~

I have worked with Marlene many times over the last several years, helping to rescue and place Thoroughbreds of all ages off the track or from neglect or feedlot situations... into good, safe and forever homes and new careers. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Marlene and the RACE Fund. RACE Fund is an extremely dedicated, no- nonsense charity that has proven time and time again that their protocol works. Marlene is a wealth of information about the entire racing industry and her knowledge also helps to educate others about Thoroughbred and other equine welfare issues. I have worked with many horse rescues over the years, and the RACE Fund comes out on top! THANK YOU RACE Fund for saving so many Thoroughbreds, track ponies and other equines, giving them a second chance at life!

The Race Fund is a non profit association that works to assist in the placement of retired thoroughbred race horses to go on to a new and happy life following the end of their racing career. This particular organization assists all kinds of these retired thoroughbreds and has built a network of reputable "foster" homes across the country as temporary (and sometimes permanent) placement for them. Their leaders work tirelessly to place a horse - even if that horse is not the most physically adept at the end of their career. They believe (as do we) that just because a race horse has reached the end of their racing career - doesn't mean that they are no longer valuable or no longer worthy of love and care. They champion campaigns against the slaughter of innocent horses, whose fate at a slaughter house is extremely inhumane and very cruel to the animal. These retired race horses deserve a better end to their career than that of the cruelty of a slaughterhouse and the The Race Fund's leadership promotes this philosophy through their willingness to work toward this end without regard for their own personal time or amount of effort - whatever it takes to save a horse!. The Race Fund leaders are constantly striving to find ways of bettering life for these retired race horses. They have built this organization from scratch with a fundamentally sound business plan and are very knowledgeable about how to make their organization and business plans work and what it takes to reach their goals. Throughout the years, they have tackled many challenges in this endeavor but have not allowed these challenges to deter them from their mission nor have they strayed from their beliefs as a result. Our hats are off to them for the excellent job they do in placing these horses and saving them for a better life in the years after the end of their racing careers! Congratulations to all of them for continuing to provide this service and for a job well done! Kudos!

The RACE FUND is a wonderful organization that helps retired race horses that tirelessly gave their life to racing The organization gives the horses a peaeful way to live out their final days rather than the other horrible alternatives that other horses face such as slaughter.

These people really care about the welfare of horses.

The best interest of the horse is always first. They are dedicated and watchful till the horse goes to heaven !

The R.A.C.E fund was instrumental in assisting me in getting my former racehorse rescued from the track and arranging to have the owner/trainer give him to me to retire permently. Marlene Murray of the R.A.C.E. Fund worked for about a year, tracking him, updating me on whereabouts and contacting trainers on my behalf. I had never met Marlene and have not met her to this day, but she went well beyond the call of duty to help rescue this horse. I am forever grateful for all she and the R.A.C.E. did for me and my horse. The R.A.C.E. Fund is also responsible for saving many Thoroughbreds from slaughter or abuse by finding permanent homes for them at other Thoroughbred rescues. They follow up on their horses as though they were their own pets. I cannot say enough about Marlene and this organization.
