The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation Fashionable Fillies Luncheon will feature an interview by Donna Brothers with Cherie DeVaux, two iconic women in the horse racing industry. 

DeVaux made headlines this year as the first woman to train a Derby winner and the second to train a Belmont Stakes winner – both with Golden Tempo. Donna Brothers is a former jockey who won more than 1,100 races and is known for her on-horseback interviews during the Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup for NBC Sports. She retired this year after 26 years. 

The summer Saratoga Race Course meet is in full swing after an exciting July 4 holiday weekend opener, and the upstate New York track will receive extensive coverage over the coming week via NYRA’s “Saratoga Live” on FOX Sports, as a four-day run of shows begins Thursday, July 9, and ends Sunday, July 11.

The wait – although “wait” doesn’t do 53 years justice – is over.

Even following perhaps the biggest victory parade in pro sports history, the celebration for Knicks fans will not, and should not, end anytime soon.
