Clay Whitham has been named keynote speaker for the National HBPA's 2018 convention in New Orleans. Along with his mother Janis, he co-manages the racing and breeding operation of the family's Whitham Thoroughbreds. Clay Whitham is president of Frontier Bank in Lamar, Colo.
“We really enjoy being part of the Thoroughbred industry,” Whitham said. “Speaking at the National HBPA Convention seems like an opportunity to give something back, to share. We certainly support what Eric [Hamelback] and the National HBPA are doing.”
The Whitham family has campaigned standouts such as the legendary two-time GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Bayakoa (Arg) as well as GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Fort Larned. Sponsored by the Louisiana division of the Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association, the National HBPA Convention will be held Mar. 13-17 at New Orleans' Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel in the French Quarter.
