Pletcher contributes stallion seasons to TCA auction

Trainer Todd Pletcher is including his package of stallion seasons for 2007

in the 17th annual Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) Stallion Season auction,

which will begin on November 27 and conclude with a live auction at the Keeneland

Entertainment Center on

December 1.

During the live auction, which will be conducted by Fasig-Tipton auctioneers,

seasons to such notable stallions as Bluegrass Cat, Mr. Greeley, Songandaprayer,

Unbridled's Song and Vindication will be offered, among others.

The TCA will distribute the proceeds to approximately 150 organizations involved

with racehorse rescue and retraining, backstretch aid, equine research and other

worthy causes. Last year's TCA event raised $1.9 million, with more than 93

cents of every dollar raised going directly to the charities.

"It is truly

gratifying to see a person of Todd Pletcher's status focus on helping others in

the industry, both horses and people less fortunate," TCA President Herb Moelis

said. "We hope others will follow his lead."
