Cash, registered as Ring of Fire, is a Kentucky-bred Thoroughbred whose story reflects both the athleticism of the racing industry and the importance of responsible aftercare.
Bred by WinStar Farm, Cash was campaigned by AB Racing, LLC, trained by Rudy R. Rodriguez, and ridden by Luis Saez in his final start. He trained consistently, competed with heart, and proved himself as a reliable, hardworking athlete. He did exactly what he was bred to do, supported by a team that valued his wellbeing and performance. His career was marked by determination, professionalism, and promise.
In July 2022, Cash sustained a career-ending leg injury during a race. Thanks to swift veterinary care and the strong network of Thoroughbred aftercare programs, Cash was safely stabilized and given the opportunity to transition into his next chapter. While his racing days had come to an end, his life—and his value—did not.
At LOHR, Cash received consistent nutrition, veterinary oversight, farrier care, and the time he needed to decompress and rebuild trust. That foundation of care allowed him to rediscover who he is beyond the track.
Today, Cash is a meaningful part of our aftercare and therapeutic programs. His calm presence, sensitivity, and steady demeanor make him especially suited for working with individuals seeking connection, grounding, and personal growth. The same focus and heart that once defined his racing career now support others in their healing journeys.
Cash’s story is a testament to responsible racing, effective aftercare, and what is possible when horses are supported throughout every stage of their lives—from competition to retirement and beyond. By supporting Cash, you are honoring his racing career and his continued impact today. You are helping ensure that Thoroughbreds like him are valued not only for their athletic achievements, but for the lasting difference they can make long after leaving the track. From a successful racing career to a purposeful second chapter, Cash embodies the full promise of Thoroughbred aftercare.
