The Race Is On for Hurricane Relief

 

.

Race fans world-wide are becoming more aware of the devastation in the homelands of our beloved Hipódromo Camarero and Clinton Phipps Racetracks. Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands and most of the Caribbean are facing dire circumstances due to Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The humanitarian need is overwhelming. Many are without food, water, power or reliable shelter. Below are links for the US FEMA and the NATIONAL HORSEMAN organizations explaining steps you can take to assist those in need.

Race fans—together we can ‘ride safe – race strong!
