Ferraro Serves Entire Industry Te California Toroughbred Foundation has many dedicated trustees, who work to further the organization’s mission. Dr. Greg Ferraro is one who served the Foundation for many years before he moved on to help the Toroughbred industry on an even bigger scale. Today Ferraro is the chairman of the California Horse Racing Board, and the industry is lucky to have someone of his experience in that Ferraro capacity. A former racetrack veterinarian and an equine orthopedic surgeon, Ferraro spent years as director of the Center for Equine Health at the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. He also served as the frst president of the Southern California Equine Foundation, which runs the equine hospitals at California racetracks. With John Kimsey he developed the Kimsey Splint, which stabilizes lower-leg injuries. Ferraro has dedicated his career to equine safety in every role he has taken on. While on the Foundation board, he was instrumental in the process of determining worthy candidates for the veterinary scholarships and fellowships that the Foundation awards. Many of those recipients have gone on to careers in caring for Toroughbred racehorses.
