Oregon's 2008 TOBA Award Winner of the Year

The Oregon breeder of the year is voted
by the Oregon TOBA Board of Directors.  This breeder is chosen for their outstanding accomplishments and commitment to Oregon’s racing industry.  The TOBA Award winner will represent Oregon at the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeder Awards Banquet this September in Lexington, Kentucky.  Our organization contributes $500 towards travel expenses for the trip, and the winner of this award will receive their bronze statue at the awards banquet in Lexington, KY.

With this in mind, 
the breeder of the year is not necessarily Oregon’s LEADING breeder of the year by earnings.  For Oregon’s leading breeder of the year in 2008 by earnings, we would like to recognize Jack & Cookie Root with Oakhurst Thoroughbreds.   Horses they bred earned over $153,203 at the track in 2008!

We are pleased to announce Dr. Mylon L Buck, Sisters OR as Oregon’s 2008 TOBA award winner of the Year!
