The Filly

Going to the track goes back generations in my family and one ride on a pony named Coco at 18 months old had me hooked. Standing in the Del Mar paddock for my 15th birthday, I knew racing was the life for me. On a June 2002 Friday night at Hollywood Park, after winning $55 on a Baffert first time starter, I ran into a producer from TVG, which led to a production assistant gig. When I moved to Louisville for college, I was offered a job with the Churchill Downs clockers for the 2003 Fall Meet.

My first morning, a trainer asked how his horse had done: she was (eventual Grade 1 winner) Stellar Jayne and he was (hall of famer) D. Wayne Lukas. Since then I’ve had some pretty cool gigs: Churchill’s Corporate Communications intern (2004), Tour Director for Three Chimneys Farm (2005), TVG’s Racing Information Coordinator (2006), Manager of Racing Operations for Puglisi Racing (2008-2009), etc… You may have heard me on radio in Louisville on “Kentucky Winner’s Circle” or in Del Mar on “Race & Sports Radio.” I’ve also commentated for WAVE-3 in Louisville and sideline reported for VerizonFios1 in New York.

Now my focus is on handicapping the Kentucky and New York circuits, plus hosting Post Parade with The Filly & The Clocker heard racedays at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/PostParade.
