The Race For Education

Completing a college education ...reaching higher goals ...attaining better jobs ...expanding life experiences. Participants in the new race for education scholarship program will realize all of these accomplishments and more with the help of the thoroughbred racing industry. The Race for Education is a national education scholarship foundation funded by various parties related to or with an interest in the Thoroughbred racing industry. It is a non-profit 501-C 3 organization established to improve the quality of life for farm and track workers through education, attract younger, better educated individuals to careers in the Thoroughbred industry and help establish the racing industry as a good citizen in the community.

The program will also provide career mentoring and internship opportunities for recipients of the scholarships to be provided by industry professionals and volunteers. Placement assistance may be provided and information on availability of graduates will be disseminated to industry employers.

COLONEL JOHN WINS THE SHAM

Odds-on choice El Gato Malo fell from the ranks of the unbeaten when Colonel John held the closer off in the final furlong to win the $200,000 Sham Stakes (gr. III)at Santa Anita March 1. Ridden by Garrett Gomez, Colonel John showed plenty of tactical speed and an excellent turn of foot late, running the final eighth of a mile in less than 12 seconds.
