Lloyd Chisholm Achievement Award - Mike Hamilton
(Presented for meritorious service)
Hamilton expels the same qualities as Lloyd Chisholm as he dedicates most of his time to the promotion of the Standardbred racing - whether it be on TV or in his travels. His support of the SBOA Mentoring Program has been exceptional as he is a true mentor for the nine people that he is guiding through first time horse ownership. Through his blog, etc. he has brought a tremendous amount of exposure to the program as well.
