“TOC has a wide range of goals being involved in all aspects of California racing, but our two main goals are to maximize purses at California tracks and insure the long-term stability and growth of racing in our state to give California owners the best possible chance to succeed.”

“I will bring the drive that’s made me successful in life to the TOC and draw in new owners and fans. Nothing is more enjoyable than sharing those winning moments with family and friends.”

“There are significant challenges within our business model. We need better communication and understanding of the ever changing economic paradigm, and accelerate the opportunities to bring growth and stability to this industry for future generations.”
Matthew Dohman

“California racing needs to continue evolving to flourish for generations to come. I support HISA and believe we need to implement even more standards to soften our image and clean up our sport.”

“I am very proud to be part of an organization that during this same span has brought in more new owners into California racing than anyone or entity.”
Rick Gold

“There are a lot of challenges and a lot of opportunities for racing in California. It is an honor to be able to work toward meeting those challenges and seizing those opportunities.”

“I think that the small owners, breeders and trainers are under-represented. I want to be there for the small stables, the guy with one claiming horse or the young first-time owner. I hope to bring ideas that make owning fun for a fresh group of people.”
John Harris

“As a TOC Director — I am hoping to keep California racing a strong, viable participant nationally for long into the future.”

Bob Liewald
Director
“I fully intend to apply the same passion and vision I’ve had working with the pro sports leagues and NASCAR to California racing and TOC.”
