Start the New Year in South Florida
Already tired of cold temperatures and dreading the snow and ice? Planning to be in
South Florida this January? Need to unwind after a busy holiday season?
If your answer to any of those questions is, “Yes,” you should make plans to attend the Thoroughbred Owner Conference at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., January 11-14, 2016.
Whether you’ve owned Thoroughbreds for many years or are considering becoming a Thoroughbred owner for the first time, we’re sure you will find this conference educational and entertaining.
The conference features an outstanding lineup of speakers, panelists and moderators, as well as unique social events and a day of racing at Gulfstream Park. Plus, you’ll meet and mingle with other well-known owners, industry representatives, jockeys and trainers from around the country.
A long-time Thoroughbred owner named Don Palmer attended the inaugural Thoroughbred Owner Conference at Keeneland, and here’s what he had to say:
“I’m 82 years old and over my career I’ve attended countless conferences. The owner conference at Keeneland was the most enjoyable conference I have ever attended. My wife and I will be back at Gulfstream Park for another great conference, and this time we’re bringing friends.”
Luckily, there is still time to register for the Thoroughbred Owner Conference. To learn more about the conference agenda (including topics, speakers and social events) and to register for the conference, please click on the following link:
