This Week on In Stride 

Sinead is joined by American jockey Rosie Napravnik to talk about her experience as a woman on the racetrack and the journey that shaped her career.    

Meet the Guest: Rosie Napravnik 

Rosie Napravnik was one of the most successful jockeys of her era, winning the Kentucky Oaks twice and capturing two Breeders’ Cup races. She made history as the first female jockey to ride in all three U.S. Triple Crown races in a single year and achieved some of the best finishes by a woman in those Classics. Over her career she was often ranked among the top jockeys in North America by earnings and wins, and she led major meets such as Fair Grounds and Keeneland.    

In This Episode, Rosie and Sinead Discuss: 

• Navigating the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated sport 

• How she got her start on the track and the path to becoming a professional jockey 

• The qualities that make an exceptional racehorse 

• Her passion for restarting off-the-track Thoroughbreds and the career she’s built beyond racing
