2010 New Owner’s Mentoring Group

The SBOA is pleased to announce that the very successful New Owner’s Mentoring program is continuing again for 2010.  This program provides the opportunity for a group of nine individuals to participate in acquiring a yearling at the yearling sales this fall.  Dan Clark has agreed to mentor this year’s group and Mike Keeling will assume the training responsibilities.

Dan Clark has been teaching high school for 36 years and is currently the Head of Boys Physical Education at Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School in Hamilton. He has been attending harness racing since his high school days and has been involved in several partnerships with horse ownership over the past 20 years.

These nine new owners will join the members of the 2009 groups who have enjoyed success with their racehorses, M G Home Run ($21,084) trained by Casie Coleman and Grin For Money ($136,452) trained by John Kopas.

The SBOA will also be presenting an information session about the New Owners Program at the Canada Outdoor Equine Expo being held June 4 – 7, 2010.  http://www.equineexpo.ca
