Personal
favorite food is, was and will always be pizza…first car was a Mustang hatchback from the 70s, and she wishes she still had it…spends free time hanging out at home with her family and two Golden Retrievers…favorite TV shows are NCIS and Grey’s Anatomy…her greatest racing experience is a tie between winning the Breeders Crown with Molly Can Do It and setting a world time record on the halftrack with Jet Laag in Delaware…enjoys reading mysteries and thrillers…loves to travel during the wintertime to somewhere warm, usually in the Caribbean…is motivated most by the young horses; she thoroughly enjoys watching their evolution from buying them as yearlings to watching watch them race
