Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 19, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 19, 2019 The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation has added Dr. Nicholas Meittinis, DVM, to its Board of Directors. Dr. Meittinis is a Maryland-based equine veterinarian who is president of the North American Association of Racetrack Veterinarians. His father, Lou Meittinis, was a successful Standardbred trainer who trained 1979 3-Year-old Pacing Colt of the Year, Hot Hitter. “As a Thoroughbred racing veterinarian, I believe in the critically important role played by the TRF,” Dr. Meittinis said. “As the industry has evolved to create greater options for retraining and retraining horses after their retirement, I am an advocate for providing a secure safety net for those horses who are unable to pursue second athletic careers. Through the nationally acclaimed TRF Second Chances program, the welfare of these vulnerable horses is ensured while the horses make a tremendous impact on the incarcerated individuals who care for them. I look forward to being actively involved in ensuring the long-term growth and sustainability of the TRF.” The post TRF Adds Maryland Veterinarian Dr. Meittinis to Board of Directors appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
