Mark Glatt earns his spurs with Magic success. During his first Del Mar meet in 2000, he sent out a three-year-old Washington-bred filly to a 24-to-1 upset under Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Delahoussaye in a claiming race on the turf.
The loss of David Hofmans, Vice President of California Thoroughbred Trainers [CTT], not only leaves our organization bereft, but also deprives our entire sport of the dignity, good humor, vast experience, and professionalism he brought to it.
Any recitation of his numerous wins and accomplishments at all levels of racing couldn’t possibly convey the respect his fellow trainers and his clients will always have for him. He was an exemplar of horsemanship, judgment, and the heritage of all the best qualities of racing and humanity.
