Bond to Lead NY Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association

The New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association announced Dec. 27 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. 

She will replace outgoing president Joe Appelbaum, who did not seek another term.

"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 (the New York Racing Association) 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."
