with the Kentucky HBPA

Friday, May 23, 2008 marked the 20-year anniversary of John Griffith, secretary-treasurer of the Kentucky HBPA.

Several members of the Board and horsemen attended a fete in John’s honor in Donamire’s suite at Churchill Downs. In addition, a race was named in his honor, and he received an expense-paid trip in appreciation of his valuable years of service.
