Omar Morales: MN HBPA Groom of the Week presented by Bravis Craft Mexican Kitchen and Luro Boots

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 Omar Morales from the Tony Rengstorf barn.  Omar will be recognized Thursday following the first race in a winner’s circle presentation.

Rengstorf uses a single word to describe Omar: exceptional.

Omar is an essential member of the barn. No one has a better touch with horses or a stronger work ethic. Just as important, Omar is a great mentor for younger, less experienced grooms.

The Rengstorf barn is known for its calm and well-maintained environment for the horses and happy crew. Omar plays a big role in making this happen.

Congratulations to Omar Morales, 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.
