Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 2, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 2, 2018 The Racing Officials Accreditation Program appointed Dr. Scot Waterman to its board during a June 28 meeting at Keeneland. Waterman, ROAP-accredited steward and current Equine Medical Advisor for the Arizona Department of Gaming, New Mexico Racing Commission and Indiana Horse Racing Commission, was added as an at-large member to the board. “Dr. Waterman’s background of previously working for the RMTC and also working as a steward gives him a unique set of skills that will be welcomed by the board,” said chairman Dan Fick. “We are glad he accepted and look forward to working with him.” ROAP is also seeking jurisdictions interested in hosting certificate courses. The certificate course is a two-day introductory course for those interested in learning more about racing officials’ duties and responsibilities with a goal of educating the next generation of racing officials. ROAP partners with local tracks and racing authorities to offer the certificate courses, which are open to the public. Also during its June 28 meeting, ROAP extended the deadline for nominations to its Pete Pedersen Outstanding Steward Award. The deadline is now July 15. Racing authorities, tracks, horsemen, jockeys, fans, and other industry participants can nominate through this link: surveymonkey.com/r/7NPRGNL.
