Principals of the Company
The strength of the company comes from the management and their contacts in harness racing. Don Liepa will be the lead manager. Don has been an avid harness racing fan for 25 years and has travelled to every major venue in the sport.
Starting from scratch, he and his brother in 2000 began to make contacts with reputable people in the harness racing industry. Soon they owned horses with Eddie Morgan Jr. in Michigan, working with Mr. Morgan’s son, Tony Morgan and later Doug McIntosh in Canada. They have met many other top horsemen along the way. The key to building these relationships was developing trust and a strong working partnership, following through on obligations made and showing a clear love for the business. These relationships built with some of the top horsemen, their passion for the business, strong ethics and the strong management background exhibited are the cornerstones of the anticipated success for the stable. Below are their credentials, along with those of their horsemen partners.
