MEET OUR TEAM



Matt Dohman



Managing Partner



Matt Dohman has owned, bred, and raced thoroughbreds for over ten years under his banner Heart Racing Stables. Matt had wanted to create a suitable path for new and seasoned racehorse owners alike to achieve success, and to bypass the hurdles he’s encountered in the industry so he created California Racing Partners. Matt is also a newly elected director on the board for the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC). Outside of racing, Matt is married with two young children and is the president of Optimum First Mortgage.



Joe Ciaglia



co-managing Partner



Joe Ciaglia has been an owner for over 20 years. He has achieved the highest accolades in racing such as campaigning various grade 1 winners, an eclipse award champion, and managing a successful breeding operation. He is a longstanding director on the board for the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC). Outside of racing, Joe owns and operates California Skateparks, the world's most known skatepark design and build firm.



Larry Zap



equine advisor



Larry Zap, known as “the eye”, has managed to bring a fresh perspective to racing. He has been on the Southern California scene full time since 1997, spending his first five years at the track as a private clocker. Zap measures and evaluating horses using a mathematical, Da Vinci type approach and values quality over quantity which has contributed greatly to the success of the horses he has purchased.



BE A PART OF OUR SUCCESS



California Racing Partners was founded in 2021, and we've enjoyed early success as a racing syndicate with relatively modest horse acquisition prices which include Visually purchased for just 40k at OBS two-year old in training sale, graded stakes placed Sakura Blossom purchased for 80k at Keeneland yearling sale, and Grade 2 winner One More Bid purchased for 55k at Fasig Tipton two-year old in training sale.


We've attributed our recent success to a refined method of thoroughbred evaluation which we've coined the Z.A.P. method, named after our Equine Advisor Larry Zap. The Z.A.P. method, which stands for Zap Attribute Process, simply identifies thoroughbred prospects whom possess the six most common attributes found in stakes horses.


Besides California Racing Partner's success, our team members Joe Ciaglia and Larry Zap have been involved with Breeders Cup Champion Champagne Room, Grade 1 winner We Miss Frankie and Kentucky Derby participant and Grade 1 winner Dance With Fate, among several others.
