FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
If you have read the President’s Letter, you already know that we have had some big changes with our Board of Trustees.
Thank you to Tom Goncharoff, who has taken on the job of being our new President. Tom has already had to step in to deal with several issues including the never-ending struggle concerning race dates. He will finish out Ralph’s one-year term as President.

I would like to welcome back Jay Taylor to our Board of Trustees. He was kind enough
to agree to come back to finish out Ralph’s two-year term as a Thoroughbred Trustee. Jay has donated a lot of his time to assist me during several meetings with our bank, insurance com- pany, and financial advisors.
Please mark your calendars to attend the Zia Festival at Ruidoso Downs on July 27th & July 28th! It will be a great weekend to show- case our New Mexico Breds. A very important meeting will be held at the Ruidoso Horse Sale Pavilion Saturday morning, July 27th when
we will be asking you to vote on whether to eliminateproxiesornot.Thateveningthere will be a dinner in the Turf Club after the races with a dance to follow out on the apron. An invitation with all the details will be sent out to our members along with nominators, quali- fiers and our legislators. We will also have a booth up at the grandstand, so be sure to stop by to say hello and meet our new Registrar, Ernestine Aragon!
We have made some very important changes this year of which you need to be aware.
