Michelle Borisenok Elected Vice President of New York Racing Chaplaincy

Michelle Cuozzo Borisenok, who was named to the board of directors of the New York Race Track Chaplaincy in December, has been elected vice president of the organization, filling the vacancy left by the late Nancy C. Kelly, who passed away in February. The announcement was made by Terry Finley, the chairman of the chaplaincy.

“Michelle is always looking for ways to improve the quality of life for members of the backstretch community and we know she will do a great job in this new role,” said Finley.

A Thoroughbred owner entrepreneur and philanthropist in the Saratoga Springs area, Borisenok operates Brown Road Racing, a boutique Thoroughbred racing organization which aims to empower women, foster a sense of camaraderie, and give back to the community through a combination of racing, education and philanthropy. The stable won the 2021 Cicada Stakes with Just Read It.

Since 2016, Borisenok has also co-owned the Thoroughbred breeding farm Old Tavern Farm with her husband, Walt Borisenok.

The New York Race Track Chaplaincy (www.rtcany.org) ministers to the needs of the backstretch community at the New York Racing Association racetracks, as well as surrounding farms through a wide variety of programs. They include enrichment programs for children, teen mentoring, women's enrichment, social service, and recreational programs, as well as educational

opportunities, and non-denominational religious services.
