All licensed Florida thoroughbred owners and trainers are invited to attend. The FHBPA will be honoring those who make a difference in the South Florida horsemen community.
The four chaplains of “His Place Ministries” will be receiving the award for Person of the Year. Tom LaPointe, Fernando Roman, Guillermo Fernandez and Alberto Grimaldi are being recognized for their tireless work helping those on the backstretch at Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West and Palm Meadows.
