Sunrise Stallions to raffle off Frost Giant seasons to benefit BCCA and PDJF

Sunrise Stallions has announced that it will raffle off two discounted “No Guarantee” seasons to Frost Giant to benefit the Belmont Child Care Association (BCCA), which operates Anna House, and the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF). Raffle winners will be announced on Aqueduct Insider on December 31.

Anyone with a mare he/she would like to breed to Frost Giant may enter the raffle at no cost. Each winner will then be able to choose between the BCCA or PDJF for a tax deductible donation of $2,500. F G Stallion, LLC will match the gifts. Frost Giant’s 2015 stud fee is $10,000.

Sunrise Stallions said in a statement, “Both Mr. Andrew Cohen and Gary Tolchin of Sunrise Stallions were looking for a way to give a little bit back to worthy causes in our industry through a shared contribution in collaboration with both the stallion owners and broodmare owners.

“As beneficiaries of a strong NY breeding program, it seemed only fitting at this time of year to promote some gift giving through the success of Frost Giant, and support of the broodmare owners.”
