Minnesota 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 Leo Reynaga. He will be recognized Thursday following race one in a winner’s circle presentation.
Trainer Tony Rengstorf says that Leonardo ‘Leo’ Reynaga is only in his first year of grooming but shows outstanding promise. Watching him you’d never know this is just the beginning of his career.
Leo is always on time and always brings a positive attitude to the barn. He’s a natural with horses and is a big part of the Rengstorf barn.
When Leo isn’t working with horses, he enjoys the lake for both fishing and cookouts.
Congratulations to Leo Reynaga, 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.
