The Minnesota HBPA started the tradition several years ago of honoring weekly a groom that exemplifies the trade. Grooms are the backbone of racing, caring for the equine athletes. Much of their work goes unseen and largely unappreciated by the general public. Grooms are hands-on daily with the horses and a good groom makes a huge difference for a successful trainer.

This week the Minnesota HBPA honors David Garcia. He will be recognized Thursday following race one in a winner’s circle presentation.

David has been with the Robert Cline barn for eight years, a virtual eternity in thoroughbred racing. What makes David so special is that he is firmly entrenched and respected as the “go-to” guy. He never misses a day, even Christmas and Easter. David is essential in the success of the Cline barn.

That David is a natural with horses is quite the understatement. But what makes him truly special is how he combines his intuitive feel of horses with his skill and knowledge.

Congratulations to David Garcia, the Minnesota HBPA Groom of the Week.

A groom will be recognized each Thursday during the meet and will receive gifts from the Minnesota HBPA, and sponsors Bravis Craft Mexican Kitchen and Luro Boots.
