Member of the Month
Margaret Burlingham
Few Thoroughbred owners probably love their horses as much as Margaret Burlingham. A lifelong equine enthusiast, Burlingham imbues her racing endeavors with compassion for the animals she adores. That care shines through, especially for gelding Saint Leon. Now nine years old, Saint Leon reeled off his third consecutive win in the Arlington Spring Stakes, run at five-and-a-half furlongs on the turf, on July 5. Read more.

July 5 Ownership Seminar Recap
Fifteen current and prospective Thoroughbred owners gathered at Arlington Park on the morning of Saturday, July 5 to soak in the expertise of one dozen industry leaders on the many aspects of Thoroughbred ownership.

The morning was followed by panels on the topics of racehorse acquisition (panelists included Mike Campbell, Anthony Granitz and Marty Nixon), the owner/trainer relationship (Barry Golden, Michael Stidham, Dave Block and Chris Block), business issues (Jim Benkoil, Glen Berman and Joel Campbell) and Thoroughbred retirement (Jan Ely).
