Winning Ponies

Natalie Turner jockey-turned-Marketing-Director for racing wanted to ride horses since the age of 7. Eli a bay quarter horse was her first horse. Her first live race was at Turfway Park. To become a jockey Natalie joined the North American Racing Academy (NARA) for a 2 year program. She started her riding career at River Downs (Belterra now) and also rode at Churchill and Ellis Park.
