The New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association today announced the results of its 2020 election for President and Board of Directors. Joe Appelbaum was re-elected to his second term as president.

Incumbent Owner/Directors Tina Bond, Rob Masiello and Aron Yagoda were re-elected as well, with Jon Green and Dan Collins filling the two additional Owner/Director spots. Incumbent Trainer/Directors Leah Gyarmati, John Kimmel, Linda Rice and Richard Schosberg will be joined by Pat Kelly, who most recently served as an alternate to the Board.

“Thank you to all of New York’s owners and trainers who took the time to participate in our Election,” Appelbaum said. “Now, more than ever, it is important to make your voice heard. We welcome Jon Green and Dan Collins to the team, and look forward to working on your behalf to promote and protect your interests, the backstretch community, the horses and Thoroughbred industry that is so vital to our state.”

The new NYTHA Board will take office effective Dec. 14, 2020.
