all in The Life

For the very best Thoroughbred racehorses, their overall career arc only begins on the track. It doesn’t end when they pass the finish line for the final time, not by a long shot, because no matter how much they made while racing, the big money – the really, really big money – is in the breeding business.

Two young people with impressive credentials have combined to point StarLadies and its partners in an exciting new direction.

Elinor Wolf, director of marketing, partner relations, and recruiting, and Corbin Blumberg, director of racing and bloodstock operations, are bringing fresh ideas to an entity created in 2015 to purchase fillies for all-women partnerships.

It’s no surprise that many people perceive the horse racing industry as one that’s very difficult to get into without the right contacts. While that may be true to a point, Giovanni Ricardo and his experiences show how a young person can pave his or her own path in Thoroughbred racing. 

Being busy, having responsibilities can be a blessing, or at least a distraction. But for Miguel Clement, mourning necessarily collides with the most public week in his professional life, leaving him with nowhere to escape as he grieves the death of his father.

Clement has always known that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and train horses.

Like a human’s comfort food when on the road, a healthy snack has helped Baeza feel right at home during his preparations for the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets June 7 at Saratoga Race Course.
