facility designed to provide exceptional care for horses of all disciplines. The center

upholds the highest medical standards, integrates cutting-edge training and

rehabilitation methods, and is staffed by dedicated experts who share his deep

commitment to equine excellence.

Dr. Dedomenico’s remarkable achievements in the horse racing industry earned him a

place in the Washington Racing Hall of Fame. Among his many successes, he owned

Blind Luck, 2010 Eclipse Award-winning Champion 3-Year-Old Filly, She’s A Tiger,

2013 Eclipse Award-winning Champion 2 Year Old Filly, Prime Engine, champion of the

2014 Gottstein Futurity and 2015 Emerald Derby Prime Engine was also named 2015

Champion 3-Year-Old in Washington State. Dr. Mark also has a host of other graded

stakes winners, and stakes winners in his history of owning and racing Thoroughbreds.

In recognition of his visionary leadership, exceptional contributions, and unwavering

dedication to the Washington Thoroughbred industry, Dr. Dedomenico was honored with

the S.J. Agnew Special Achievement Award in 2015.

Dedomenico’s legacy—an enduring symbol of innovation, passion, and excellence in
