Emerald Downs was the site of ABC’s newest fundraiser: ABC’s Day at the Races! Members and staff came to Auburn for a day of food, fun, and racing on Friday, May 30th.
ABC members raised $3,650 which goes straight to the National PAC. This funds candidates at a national level who support the merit shop and probusiness philosophy, including newly ABC endorsed presidential candidate John McCain.
United Systems Mechanical, LLC was the event sponsor, and as a benefit of their sponsorship, the seventh race will go down in the record books as the ABC/United Systems Mechanical Purse. The 1 horse, Rileighs Hot Pants ridden by Emerald Downs legend Rickey Frazier, took home the $10,500 purse, followed by Vegas Queen who placed and Avenue of Sorts who showed.
All members who attended were treated to admission to the event, a program, a buffet dinner, drink tickets, a betting voucher and other benefits. For those who had never been to the horse track before, an Emerald Downs handicapper visited ABC members to explain how to bet and made a few recommendations.
Stephen and
Erin VerHoeven of
Corstone Contractors, LLC even parlayed their betting voucher into a trifecta win that paid out over $400!
