Find Your Thoroughbred's Next Career

Thoroughbreds are in high demand as sport horses. The Jockey Club provides this list of resources and programs to help embark your Thoroughbred on the journey to its next career. When you make plans to retire your Thoroughbred, please consider responsible retirement, placement, or sale. Horses sold straight from the track or breeding farm through horse dealers, unregulated “livestock” sales, or all breed / loose horse auctions run a great risk of ending up in a precarious situation, including export for slaughter. Retired racehorses have value when sold through Thoroughbred auctions, reputable horse auctions or sales agents, or racetrack-affiliated listing services. All Thoroughbreds deserve a chance to have a successful and dignified life beyond the racetrack.
