Lights On Broadway has had a racing career worthy of his name. He was the Texas Horse of The Year in 2001. And he won over $500,000 on the track -- wow!
He is still racing at 11 years old in Oklahoma. His race trainer/owner has agreed to sell him to the Fans of Barbaro, a forum of racing fans and horse lovers. The Fans of Barbaro want to buy Lights On Broadway so they can retire him from racing. He would come home to Texas to his breeder's ranch or to LOPE.
Although donations to the Fans of Barbaro fundraiser aren't tax deductible, it is still a very worthy cause. If you would like to see a great racing warrior retire safely from racing, please check out the fundraiser!
Wonderful news, all! An incredible Texan, name currently unknown, has stepped up and donated the balance of funds needed to purchase Lights on Broadway! Hooray!! Transport is now being arranged to bring Lights back home to Texas from Oklahoma. If you'd like to help with his transport costs, please send your transport costs contribution to LOPE. Thanks!
