A unique fundraiser in Saratoga Springs this weekend will help jockeys who became disabled while riding.

Karaoke for Disabled Jockeys will take place on Sunday night. Every year, the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund gets the best jockeys in the country together in Saratoga to sing. They belt out karaoke songs to raise money for their colleagues who were injured while riding.  

It’s a contest, but the jockeys have a great time – some getting into the character of the artists whose songs they’re singing.

The Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund currently supports 60 riders who have suffered paralysis or brain injuries.

Jockey Karaoke is Sunday night at Vapor Night Club at the Saratoga Casino Hotel.

NewsChannel 13 anchor/reporter Mark Mulholland has been invited to be a judge.

The performances start at 8.
