Greg Stiles

Greg Stiles is HISA’s Racetrack Accreditation Manager and the liaison to all tracks in completing their Racetrack Safety Accreditation Audits.

A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Stiles was first introduced to horse racing at his home track Ak-Sar-Ben. During high school summers, he worked as a hotwalker and groom, quickly developing a love for the backside community.

Most recently, Stiles served as the Racing Enforcement Manager for the Arizona Department of Gaming Racing Division from 2014 through 2021. In this role, he was responsible for enforcing horse and dog racing rules and regulations in the state of Arizona. He supervised the regulatory team at Arizona racetracks, which included stewards, investigation teams, licensing personnel and veterinarian staff. He was the primary contact and liaison to the Arizona Racing Commission and to national and local horse racing constituent groups, including the Association of Racing Commissioners International, the Arizona Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and the Arizona Thoroughbred Breeders Association.

Prior to his regulatory career, Stiles was publisher of several free-circulation magazines in the Phoenix area, one of which was Arizona Parenting Magazine, a 70,000-circulation magazine for raising families. He also consulted with small-to-medium-sized businesses, providing marketing and public relations strategic plans to support revenue growth.

In 2016, he attended the Racing Officials Accreditation Program and continues to maintain his credentials as an accredited steward. Stiles joined HISA in June of 2022, and when he’s not working trackside, he is based out of Phoenix, Arizona.
