LSRC Chairman Bob Wright passed on Saturday March 27, 2021

The Louisiana HBPA offers its heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Louisiana State Racing Commission Chairman, Bob Wright.  Commissioner Wright was first appointed in 2004 under Governor Blanco and served as Chairman for 11 of his 17 years.  His passion for Louisiana Horse racing was evident at every Commission meeting he attended or presided over.  His service and dedication to the Horsemen and Horsewomen of Louisiana is greatly appreciated and he will be missed.  President Chatters states “We have every confidence that the Commission will carry on its duties in the spirit that Chairman Wright instilled and exemplified”.
