Jockeys and Jeans for The PDJF

 

THE PERMANENTLY DISABLED JOCKEYS FUND is tireless in helping those who have met with career ending injuries obtained from racing. For fans near TAMPA BAY DOWNS, the PDJF event JOCKEYS AND JEANS will be hosted on March 29th. This unique event features jockeys from across the nation gathering to honor and celebrate the lives of their fallen comrades at the only US charity event organized by former jockeys to aid other former riders. OFF THE PACE has made its contribution by creating the first JOCKEYS AND JEANS event poster! To purchase tickets, please click the link below. A full day of activities are planned, along with a great day of Tampa Bay Down racing. Please join us for a great cause!
