The Board of Directors of the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey has elected Mark Ford as its president at a re-organization meeting which was held on Monday, November 16 at the association’s offices in Manalapan, New Jersey.
Ford, one of the leading trainers in the history of the Meadowlands Racetrack, owns and operates the Mark Ford Training Center. He fills the position occupied for more than a dozen years by Thomas Luchento.
“We made tremendous gains while Tom was president,” said Ford. “And we will redouble our efforts to expand racing opportunities in New Jersey, pushing ahead with plans for an expanded gaming referendum in 2016. We thank Tom Luchento for his leadership and know he will continue to contribute as a member of the Board of Directors.”
In the election of other officers, Mark Mullen was named first vice president, Robert Boni as second vice president, Chris Ryder as third vice president, Alfred Ochsner Jr. as treasurer and Anthony Romano as secretary.
