CK: Two years ago, in Lexington, I
was lucky enough to see American
Pharoah. When they were walking
to the starting gate, we were right
on the track... and as he was walking
down the track people were applaud-
ing him. This was before he was even
running, and it was like a Seabiscuit
movie moment. Finally there was a
racehorse that was legendary again
in the American psyche. My hair is
standing up on my arm just talking
about it, because it is such a power-
ful memory. I will never forget it. We
were among greatness and there
will never be a horse like that again
in our lifetime. It was clear to me this
was a singular moment in time.
CK: The Lexington Junior League
Horse Show, which in Lexington, KY
at the Red Mile Race Track. They
FORVHRƪHLWKHUHQGRIWKHWUDFNDQG
create a show arena on the home
stretch with beautiful indoor seat-
ing on one side and a big grandstand
on the other. It's great--it's summer,
it's July, it's Lexington--it's just a fan-
tastic atmosphere.
TDN: What is your favorite
Breeders' Cup memory?
TDN: As a spectator, what is your
favorite equestrian event to attend?
CK: American Pharoah, since he has
that reputation for not being naugh-
ty! I would ride him in the stall.
TDN: If you were given the chance to ride
any racehorse, past or present, who
would it be?
... because it is such
a
powerful
memory.
