Chris Kotulak
I spent this weekend at Fonner Park. I met Chris in the Finish Line for the first time. He is our new COO. We had a nice conversation that ranged from Fonner trying to put in historical racing to other subjects.
During the weekend I saw him several times. He was out on the floor talking to the horse players. I just want to say it is refreshing to have some one out there that seemed very interested in how the customers felt. I wish him luck at his new position and hope he can find a house soon.

Was in the handicapping contest there New Year's Day and met him as well. Seems like a genuinely nice guy that I hope can turn Fonner around for my generation. Wish him the best of luck

Agree, a good step up from his position at Remington Park. A good guy, knows racing and knows a lot of history about mid-western racing. He wrote a biography of Jack Van Berg, a giant of racing in the mid-west for many years.
