In honor of Preakness-winning filly Rachel Alexandra’s Belmont Park debut in the 53rd renewal of the Grade 1, $300,000 Mother Goose Stakes on Saturday, June 27, the New York Racing Association, Inc. will give away pink bracelets embossed with the filly’s name and admission for ladies will be free on Mother Goose Day.

The Rachel Alexandra bracelets are free with admission for the first 10,000 customers (paid for males, free for females) and will be handed out at both Clubhouse and Grandstand admission booths as patrons enter the park. One per customer, no coupon required, while supplies last.

NYRA has chosen to give away pink bracelets to show support for the decision announced last week by Rachel Alexandra’s owners, Jess Jackson, founder of Kendall-Jackson Wines, and his wife Barbara Banke, to contribute a portion of Rachel Alexandra’s future winnings to the Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure”® for breast cancer.

Finally, all afternoon on Mother Goose Day the Belmont backyard will be swinging to the sounds of Echoe Orchestras Inc., a band that specializes in swing, pop modern and classic jazz standards. They will perform live on the backyard stage from noon-4 p.m.
