What is PTK ?

A lifelong horse lover, Los Alamitos and Hollywood Park were favorite haunts of her parents, and she spent many hours eyeing racehorses over the pages of a textbook. The seed of the PTK dream was firmly planted in those days, and that little girl went on to be the best owner any racehorse could ask for.

The backbone of PTK and irreplaceable in every way, Paula passed away in 2020.

Though PTK began with Paula, it was Tom who got the ball rolling by purchasing an interest in a two year-old as a gift for her in 1998. While he views himself as more horseplayer than horseman, Tom's business sense and love of playing the ponies continues to bring a valuable perspective to the table.

He has a special talent for naming horses, which the family treats as a competitive event.

Often overheard joking that she brings up the rear, the truth is that Kaitlin has loved every second of life as the K in PTK. An avid horse lover and nutty for racing history, she is now responsible for much of the administrative work behind PTK, with her true passion lying in the breeding program. 

Preferring life behind the camera to life in front of it, many of her photos appear on this site.
