ARON WELLMAN, BOARD MEMBER

Aron is a graduate from the University of California Santa Barbara and Southwestern University Law School after which he practiced as a trial attorney for a boutique litigation defense firm in Los Angeles.

While practicing law, Aron dabbled in forming Thoroughbred racing partnerships and after a few years of considerable success he left his law practice to become the Vice President of Team Valor. After 3 ½ years as the Vice President of Team Valor, during which time the stable won a Breeders’ Cup race in 2010 and the 2011 Kentucky Derby, Wellman struck out on his own and launched Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. When the legendary Cot Campbell hung up his tack, Eclipse formed a joint venture with famed Dogwood Stable

Eclipse has won 149 Black Type races, the 2017 Belmont Stakes, the 2017 Australian Oaks, the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, and the 2019 Breeders’ Cup Spring in partnership with Gainsway Stable.

Aron resides in Rancho Santa Fe, California with his wife Talya, daughter Sadie, and son Jack.
