'Breeders' Cup or Bust' traverses Kentucky for charity

The Breeders' Cup and the Paulick Report are teaming up for

the second year in a row to raise funds for Breeders' Cup Charities through the

initiative "Breeders' Cup or Bust."

Paulick Report founder, Ray Paulick, and his business partner Brad

Cummings will walk from Lexington to Louisville in Kentucky,

culminating at the 2010 Breeders' Cup World Championships at

Churchill Downs, November 5-6. The charities they will be raising money for include The V

Foundation for Cancer Research, the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund and

Thoroughbred Charities of America.

Last year's "Breeders' Cup or Bust" raised $75,000 for

Breeders' Cup Charities in a cross-country drive from Lexington to Santa Anita

in California

for the 26th Breeders' Cup, stopping at five

racetracks along the way.

"Breeders' Cup or Bust" will begin its nine-day journey at Keeneland on October 27 and will arrive in Louisville

on November 4.

Accompanied by a fully branded RV and sporting jockey silks, the team will be

stopping along the way to raise money and awareness for the charities, and guest

walkers will also join them at different stages. The Paulick Report will be

chronicling its journey at

www.paulickreport.com.

"We established Breeders' Cup Charities two years ago in

large part to participate in programs that raise money and call attention to

great causes like the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, The V Foundation and

TCA," Breeders' Cup President/CEO Greg Avioli said. "We look forward to Ray and

Brad's excellent adventure -- for the second year in a row -- as they walk from

Lexington to Louisville in support of these worthy organizations."

"'Who in their right mind would do this?" Paulick said,

"which is exactly the point. I've always wanted to walk from Lexington to

Louisville, and this is a great excuse to do it. But on a serious note, all of

these charities do vital work in our community and industry and deserve

support."

Online donations may be made directly through a secured website through

Breeders' Cup Charities.

Additionally, the Paulick Report is seeking individuals,

businesses or charitable foundations as sponsors, with proceeds going directly

to the charities. To inquire about sponsorship opportunities, please send an

email to info@paulickreport.com.
