Hamilton retires from TJCIS post
Carl Hamilton, the president of The Jockey Club Information Systems since 1994, has retired, according to The Jockey Club, and his roles in the job will be overtaken by existing company personnel.
Hamilton, whose retirement was effective on Dec. 31, was appointed president of TJCIS four years after joining The Jockey Club as a vice president of its consulting division in 1990. TJCIS maintains and administers software that is used by racing offices, horsemen, farms, and sales companies.
Hamilton will continue to act as chairman of The Blood-Horse, the racing and breeding publication that The Jockey Club owns a majority interest in. He will also continue to represent The Jockey Club on “various national and international committees,” including the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities and the Society of International Thoroughbred Auctioneers.
“Carl’s leadership of TJCIS has been exceptional,” said James Gagliano, the president of The Jockey Club, in a release. “The advancements to our information services and evolution of technology systems to meet the demands of a global marketplace are a tribute to Carl’s deep understanding of the industry.”
According to The Jockey Club, Matt Iuliano, the executive director of The Jockey Club, will be nominated to act as president of TJCIS. In addition, Tim Leith has been promoted to senior vice president of TJCIS, and he will “execute short- and long-term plans for the company and continue to oversee product development efforts of the company’s growth initiatives.”
