Idea for harness name plates for retiring racehorse- feel free to forward to anyone and everyone!!
http://www.starfishfarms.com/horse/brassplates/index.html
See BP-2, $5.99. One corporate sponsor for say $100,000.00 per year can provide 15,000 Tbred racers with nameplates- can cover EVERY one in the USA! Just imagine the PR (B of A) would have gotten at the Funny Cide Retiremnt Party alone!! Local track would gather names from area breeders, retirement farms, on-track trainers of horse names and send the list to sponsor and manufacturer, Manufacturer would send plates to track, list of names and bill to sponsor. Track would hold a retirement ceremony in winner's circle for prominemt horses proving that they retire fit and do not all go to slaughter or retire crippled. Finger Lakes could do it in correlation to thie project of finding places for the horses to go.
NTRA has sponsors like John Deere, Office Max, etc. on their website. Any one of them or YUM! Foods could sponsor. I think all it would take is for 1 track to start and get PR through racing publications. It is a win-win for sponsor and racing at a very low cost.
