Kosta Hronis, who campaigned Horse of the Year candidate Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky) to a victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic earlier this month, and popular TV host and prominent horse owner Jim Rome, have agreed to join the board of directors for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
“We hit not one, but two, home runs when we got these fine gentlemen to join us at Del Mar,” said DMTC Chief Executive Officer and director Joe Harper. “Kosta and Jim come from different worlds, but they share a mutual love of our game and a desire to see it flourish. We could not be more pleased to add a pair of sharp minds like theirs to our leadership ranks.”
The addition of Hronis and Rome to the Del Mar board follows the May 2018 augmentation of the leadership group by actress, horsewoman and advocate for many worth causes Bo Derek.
The current Del Mar board, listed chronologically, is as follows:
Dr. James R. Buell, V.M.D. (1970); Joe Harper (1985); Warner C. Lusardi (1988); Rollin W. Baugh (1992); Martin J. Wygod (2000); David H. Batchelder (2008); Jon S. Kelly (2008); Marie Moretti (2008); Bo Derek (2018); Kosta Hronis (2018), and Jim Rome (2018).
