Beyond The Wire Retires 500th Horse

In mid-March upon the retirement of the 5-year-old gelding Bundi Bundi by trainer Pedro Nazario, Beyond The Wire reached the 500-mark in horses that have moved through the program.

Beyond The Wire, Maryland’s Thoroughbred aftercare program, is funded by the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association; Maryland Jockey Club and its owner, 1/ST Racing; the Maryland Horse Breeders Association; owners who participate in Maryland racing; the local jockey colony; and donations from owners and trainers. The program works hand-in-hand with various Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-accredited farms that house equine retirees and prepare them for new owners and second careers.
