Richard Mandella has been selected by the Board of Directors of the Thoroughbred Club of America as the 2023 Honor Guest, Club President Charlie Boden announced Monday.
“The Thoroughbred Club of America is delighted to name Richard Mandella as its 2023 Honor Guest”, said Boden. “Richard is a shining example of what past generations traditionally thought of when they considered what a great trainer is–a real “throwback” who has never had more than 40 horses in his barn. He is steadfast in his care of the animal with a long view of what that animal could accomplish if given the time to flourish. His care for the horses in his barn is matched by his support of the people who he employs to take such good care of them. He is a consummate professional in every aspect of his trade evidenced by his exemplary integrity record and his body of work as is shown by the great horses he has had his hands on. His unheralded service to the industry by his continued support of entities devoted to the welfare of the horse is also exemplary.”
Mr. Mandella will be honored by the Club at its 92nd Testimonial Dinner, which will be held at Keeneland Friday, November 17th, 2023.
