Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 3 hours ago Journalists Posted 3 hours ago Darren Filkins has been unanimously voted to fill the vacancy on the board of directors of the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC) created by the recent passing of John Harris, the group announced Monday. The CEO of Harris Farms since January 2022, Filkins has held a variety of agriculturally centered positions before joining Harris Farms, and is a known face in California. “I'd previously worked with Darren through some difficult issues and was impressed by his intelligence, forthrightness and integrity–two characteristics welcomed on any industry board,” said TOC Board member Ty Green, chairman of the Northern California Racing Affairs subcommittee. “Harris Farms has been a big part of the history of California racing over the past decades, and with the passing of Mr. Harris, asking Darren to continue the Harris industry legacy by serving on the TOC Board in his place seemed natural and in the best interest of racing. We are very happy he agreed to join us.” The post Darren Filkins Appointed to TOC Board appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
