Award winning thoroughbred trainer and Mechanicville native Chad Brown will be honored at the 26th annual Newton Plaza Siro’s Cup to benefit the Center for Disability Services in July. Due to the summer meet schedule change announced by the New York Racing Association, Siro’s Cup will be held on Wednesday, July 10. The signature event, held on the eve of opening day at the Saratoga Race Course, begins at 6:30 p.m. at Siro’s Restaurant, 168 Lincoln Avenue, Saratoga Springs. At 7:30 p.m., there will be a tribute and brief presentation to Chad Brown.

Brown is a three-time, consecutive year recipient of the Eclipse Award Outstanding Trainer in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In 2018, he was ranked 5th by Wins and 1st by Earnings among trainers. His 2018 Triple Crown successes included Gronkowski placing 2nd in the Belmont and Good Magic placing 2nd in the Kentucky Derby. In 2017, the Brown trained racehorse Cloud Computing won the Preakness. Brown is a board member for BEST, Backstretch Employee Service Team.

It is a benefit for the Center for Disability Services Foundation, Inc. Proceeds from Siro’s Cup fund specialized medical and dental equipment for Center Health Care, mobility equipment for students and adults who have disabilities, communication devices, repairs and upgrades at the Center’s fully accessible Clover Patch Camp and renovations at St. Margaret’s Center, where the bedrooms are “little home spaces” in which many of the medically fragile children and young adults spend the majority of their time.
