(Austin, Texas - Thursday, April 9, 2015) - The Texas Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (TTHBPA) recently concluded its annual Board of Directors election. TTHBPA (Thoroughbreds and Arabians) members were selecting two (2) owner and one (1) trainer representatives. Incumbent owner M. Jan Haynes and trainer Randy Mayfield were re-elected to serve another three-year term. Meanwhile, owner Jack Cook was elected to serve his first term on the Board.

The THP would like to thank all the candidates who ran for election to serve and represent their fellow Texas horsemen. The THP would also like to thank Lane Hutchins and Dr. Richard Weilburg for their years of service on behalf of the racing horsemen and women of Texas.
