Bob Neumeier wins for Old Friends


             Bob Neumeier, the longtime NBC Sports handicapper 
               and Boston sportscaster, won the inaugural NTRA 
                          NHC Charity Challenge Jan. 24, 
            less than three months after suffering serious stroke.   
            A field of 40 celebrities, broadcasters, and media types 
                        competed in the Charity Challenge.  
            As the winner, Neumeier will have $5,000 donated 
                              in his name to Old Friends, 
                  the Thoroughbred retirement nonprofit 
               with farms in Kentucky and upstate New York.
             Another $5,000 goes to a charity of his choosing.
                Neumeier said he would consult with his wife 

                           before announcing his selection.
 
Old Friends provides a dignified retirement to Thoroughbreds 
whose racing and breeding careers have come to an end. 
By promoting these one-time celebrated horses
through a campaign of education and tourism, 
we hope to raise awareness of all equines in need.
