NY Thoroughbred Horseman's Association (NYTHA)

NY Thoroughbred Horseman's Association

The New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association is committed to representing the interests of owners and trainers at the New York Racing Association tracks. NYTHA recognizes that its constituents are the lifeblood of the racing industry in New York and focuses its efforts on doing what is best for New York horsemen.

Michael Shanley

Owner/Director

Mike has worked as an attorney, judge and real estate executive in the Albany area over the last 35 years. His legal background combined with his extensive experience working with the New York State Legislature in Albany has proven to be an important asset to NYTHA as the legislature considers the future of the NYRA franchise and VLT’s.

Since being elected to the NYTHA Board in 1999, Mike has served as Vice President of NYTHA and Chairman of the Legislative Committee.

He and his wife Lyn are involved in all aspects of the horse industry. In addition to racing, they currently have mares in New York and Kentucky.
