Back in 1998 the California Thoroughbred Trainers board set out to develop a non-profit organization to enhance the lives of the hard-working backstretch workers and their families, @calgregson, after the late veteran trainer Eddie Gregson. Today they provide scholarships for the children of backstretch workers. “Thursday a subset of the board met,” says board member Tom Reynolds, “and we’re granting nearly $400,000 in scholarships to the backstretch workers’ kids for the upcoming school year.” Read more ⬇️ dmtc.com/media/news/gregson-…

How fun ......what a fantastic idea
🎳🏆 We close out our inaugural Spring 2026 Bowling League games just in time for the summer move to Del Mar. League play started in April, and competition was fun and fierce, but bursting with camaraderie! Francisco Alvarado from Richard Mandella’s barn was our highest scorer, with a very close 2nd by Hilario Medina (@PhilDamato11), and 3rd by Andres Mora (@oneill_racing). A special Thank You to jovial jockey Jose Dominguez for helping with the award presentations. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to everyone that participated!  The League was great fun, and we look forward to sponsoring another round soon! 🥳🌅

The Gregson Foundation provides scholarships to students from backstretch families, helping them pursue education beyond the racetrack. Daniel Inocente took that opportunity and ran with it — building his own business and even writing a book. A powerful example of what’s possible. 👏
