The Retirement Assistance and Care for Equine Fund (RACE Fund), a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization, launches its spring fund drive with an online auction on eBay May 25 at 8 p.m. The auction ends June 1.

The auction is to help raise funds for racehorse retirement and rescue. The auction proceeds will also benefit Promethia, a 31-year-old mare by Alydar that was rescued in May 2011.

"We know Promethia has to be one of the oldest living descendants by Alydar," said Marlene Murray, president of the RACE Fund. "However, we recently discovered that multiple grade I winner Turkoman who is also by Alydar and 31 years old is still alive and doing well in California.

"We have since learned of two other Throroughbreds by Alydar in their 20s, 22-year-old Aide Memoire and Train Robbery who is 26, so it appears Alydar also passed on longevity in many of his offspring," she said
