The New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association today announced the results of its 2023 election for President and Board of Directors. Tina Marie Bond, who previously served as co-Vice President, was elected to her first term as President.

“I am honored to be chosen as the next President of NYTHA,” said Bond. “It is an important time for our industry and the future of horse racing. I look forward to working with NYRA and the New York breeders to continue the great work of keeping New York racing at the top of our industry. We have the best owners, the best trainers, the best employees, and soon we will have the best facilities. I want to thank Joe Appelbaum and our past Board Members for all of their work and support. And I want to congratulate our new Board – I look forward to working with all of you.”

“I’d like to recognize everyone who put themselves out there to run for a position,” said outgoing NYTHA President Joe Appelbaum. “NYTHA’s strength is in our community and the more that participate, the better. Good luck to the incoming Board, they are going to need our support.”

We appreciate everyone who participated in this democratic process! Many thanks to our outgoing Board Members for their service, and best wishes to those newly elected.
