HBO FILMS TFH SPRING
OPEN HOUSE
Outer Drive, a four-year-old gelding who was placed into Turning For Home after fracturing a sesamoid late last year, enjoys the limelight as a cameraman from HBO films him at the
Turning For Home/South Jersey
Thoroughbred Rescue Open House in April.
Our thanks to Dr. Patty Hogan, who performed surgery on the handsome grey so that he could go on to a new career as a show horse.
Last month, HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel aired a follow up to their horse slaughter program from last year, and presented Philadelphia Park's Turning For Home racehorse retirement program as a positive step in which racing is taking to save Thoroughbreds when they retire from the track.
The 15 minute segment, shows very graphic images of slaughter plants, but ends on a positive note demonstrating the versatility of the breed, and the efforts that the PTHA has made on behalf of our equine athletes by starting
Turning For Home, Inc.
