Damon Thayer and Liza Hendriks have been named to the board of directors of Amplify Horse Racing, the organization announced Monday.
“Since leaving the Kentucky Senate last year, I have been looking for a way to give back to the racing industry that I am passionate about,” Thayer said. “Amplify Horse Racing's mission is much-needed and worthy of support, and I am honored to have been asked to join the board and look forward to working with the team to connect young people to careers in the industry.”
Hendriks founded Wanamaker's, one of the first online Thoroughbred auction platforms in the U.S., which was acquired by Inglis in 2024, and she now serves on the Board of Inglis Digital USA.
“The future of Thoroughbred racing depends on our ability to engage, educate, and inspire the next generation,” Hendriks said. “Amplify is doing that work in a meaningful, modern way, and I'm excited to contribute my experience to help grow its impact.”
Amplify Horse Racing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that connects youth and young adults to education and career pathways in the Thoroughbred industry through classroom education, mentorship programming, and immersive experiences.
