I was honored to be elected as chairman of the RMTC–the industry's scientific advisory organization consisting of 23 major racing industry stakeholder organizations – in September of 2013. I chose to accept this expanded role after participating as a board member since the RMTC's inception over a decade ago. I am passionate about RMTC's education and advocacy initiatives, particularly the RMTC's efforts to reform horse racing's national medication policy through the development and advancement of uniform medication rules, a multiple violator penalty system, laboratory accreditation / external quality assurance, and a tactical research program. These initiatives are evidence that this consortium is the industry's best means to ensure horse racing safety and integrity.
