The Real Rider Cup brings the racing world together for a cause that connects the racing and sport horse communities.

Saratoga Springs, N.Y., has long been a summer playground for sports fans: the upstate New York town is home to Saratoga Race Course, one of the most storied racetracks in the world, and it’s been mecca for horse racing fans for hundreds of years.

Elizabeth Talamo always desired to be a storyteller. The backdrop for those stories began organically, while growing up as the daughter of trainer Ron Ellis, a mainstay on the Southern California racing circuit.
