Carl Hamilton, since 1994 the president of The Jockey Club Information Systems (TJCIS), has retired as of Dec. 31, 2022. Hamilton will remain in role as chairman of BloodHorse and will continue to represent The Jockey Club on a variety of national and international committees related to the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) and the Society of International Thoroughbred Auctioneers (SITA). Matt Iuliano will be nominated for election as president of TJCIS and continue as executive director and executive vice president of The Jockey Club.
“Carl's leadership of TJCIS has been exceptional,” said James L. Gagliano, president and COO of The Jockey Club. “The advancements to our information services and evolution of technology systems to meet the demands of a global marketplace are a tribute to Carl's deep understanding of the industry. Carl will continue to be available as a consultant to the many important initiatives of TJCIS in 2023.”
Hamilton joined TJCIS in 1990 as the vice-president of the consulting division. He previously owned Hamilton Software, a software consulting firm that developed industry-leading farm management software packages and provided consulting services to Thoroughbred-related organizations. When TJCIS acquired a controlling interest in BloodHorse in 2015, Hamilton was appointed chairman.
Tim Leith was promoted to the role of senior vice president of TJCIS this month. Leith will execute short- and long-term plans for the company and continue to oversee product development efforts of the company's growth initiatives.
