Winning Ponies

The Jockeys' Guild hosted their recent 2018 Annual Meeting, in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 10 and 11, 2018. The assembly was attended by active and retired jockeys from the Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse industries. Discussions were held on how to enhance the sport of horseracing. Regional Director Jeff Johnston or Guild Attorney Mindy Coleman will be our 1st guest and report on the event.. On July 6, 1985, Mom’s Command captured the 1 1/2-mile Coaching Club American Oaks by 2 1/2 lengths and with it, New York’s prestigious triple crown for fillies. The elated rider swept off a sweaty yellow helmet and set the crowd aroar when a cascade of auburn hair tumbled down over a pair of slender shoulders. But as Abigail Fuller discovered that giddy summer of a lifetime, racing’s road remained far from smooth for a female with the nerve to travel it. “Abby” is now Gulfstream Park’s Racing Ambassador. She will help John with some of the Graded Stakes races at Gulfstream Park..
