Monmouth Park's racing secretary for 15 years, Kulina was named vice president-Thoroughbred racing in 1995, after serving as general manager-Thoroughbred racing since 1991. As director of racing, Kulina was instrumental in putting together top fields for Monmouth's Amory L. Haskell Invitational and the Philip H. Iselin Handicap. He also developed the popular overnight stakes program which has become a standard in the industry.

Under Kulina’s direction, Monmouth Park this year embarked on a bold experiment by slashing racing dates, enabling the track to offer purses averaging about $1 million per day during the 50-day meet. With the expectation that fewer dates would result in larger crowds and increased handle for those dates that are being run, the meet has met and in some cases exceeded expectations.

The podcast will take place Wednesday, July 14, and will be posted online later that day. Cutoff for questions is 5 p.m. July 13.

He has been very visible this year, talking with the owners, trainers and fans. I give him credit for everything he has done to make racing at MP exciting this year. Hopefully he can keep it going for a longtime.

Mr. Kulina, Mr. Forbes and Mr. Drazin have delivered the goods.
