TORONTO, August 10, 2026\u2014\u00a0LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society<\/u><\/a>, Woodbine’s local Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) accredited non-profit organization, will host an online 50\/50 raffle this week leading up to the 167th King’s Plate on Saturday, August 15. \u200b<\/p>\n

Through fundraising and volunteer work, LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society cares for, evaluates, and retrains retired Thoroughbreds, helping them transition into loving adoptive homes and successful second careers.<\/p>\n

The 50\/50 raffle is open to participants across Ontario and will be available online at\u00a0longrun5050.com<\/a>\u00a0from Monday, August 10 through King\u2019s Plate Day on Saturday, August 15. Tickets are available for $10 for 5 tickets, $25 for 25 tickets, $50 for 100 tickets, or $100 for 250 tickets. Half of the funds will be donated directly to LongRun, while the other half will go to one lucky draw winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is Woodbine\u2019s privilege to support the important work of LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society,\u201d said Michael Copeland, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. \u201cWe are incredibly grateful to LongRun’s chairperson Vicki Pappas and the entire LongRun team for their dedication, and we are proud to help shine a spotlight on their work during our marquee event, The King\u2019s Plate.\u201d<\/p>\n

While tickets can be purchased online throughout the week, LongRun representatives will also be on-site at The King\u2019s Plate selling raffle tickets and connecting with race fans. The winning ticket will be drawn following The King\u2019s Plate race, at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 15. The winner will be notified by email.<\/p>\n

By supporting the 50\/50 raffle, fans celebrating The King’s Plate can hope for a lucky ticket while helping to provide racehorses a second chance to succeed in a new loving home when their time at the racetrack comes to a close.<\/p>\n
