Just days after Zenyatta completed an undefeated season with a victory against males in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) on Saturday, the Jockey Club announced her co-owner Jerry Moss has been elected as a member.
Moss joins Headley Bell, Jon S. Kelly, and Daisy Phipps Pulito as the four new elected members announced by the Jockey Club on Wednesday.
Moss, who co-founded the A&M record label in 1962 with Herb Alpert, has owned and bred horses since 1979. He is a member of the California Horse Racing Board and he and his wife Ann were named 2008 owners of the year by the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC).
Bell is the managing partner of Mill Ridge Farm and president of Nicoma Bloodstock, which is Mill Ridge’s consulting arm. He is a past president of the Thoroughbred Agents and Consultants Association and served on the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association Sales Integrity Task Force.
Kelly, whose primary business interests have involved television, real estate development, and banking in California, owns Tres Palomas farm in Rancho Santa Fe, California, and serves on the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club board of directors. He has owned Thoroughbreds since the early 1960s.
Phipps Pulito has had a longtime involvement in Thoroughbred breeding and racing and is currently the racing manager of the Phipps Stable and a member of the board of directors of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. She also has served in a variety of television production capacities through the years with CBS Sports, The Golf Channel, and NTRA/Breeders’ Cup.
