Fidel Lopez: 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 Fidel Lopez from the Valorie Lund barn.  Fidel will be recognized Thursday following the first race in a winner’s circle presentation.

Fidel grooms the horses El Encanto, Tenth Street Don, Quality Rags, Capala, Diamond Dee and Bodenheimer.

Lund explains that even though Fidelis new to her team “he is definitely a team player. His horses are immaculate and go out to train looking like superstars. He is so kind and loves his horses.”

Congratulations to Fidel Lopez, 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.
