Rosie was terrific, but she stopped for family life. Good for her....but she could be a great rider.
A little bit back we had Chantel Sutherland. She first seemed to get notoriety because she was featured along with Joe Talamo as local circuit jocks on “Jockeys” along with her shack-up HOF jock Mike Smith. Then you see her some on major stakes and she had her fanny plastered on some LA racing billboards.
She turned out to be the Danica Patrick of HORSE-racing. Hot chick but not really good.
Rosie was the real deal, like none I have ever seen. But no cheesecake marketing for her.
Rosie Napravnik announced her pregnancy and retirement on national TV during Breeders’ Cup weekend maybe five or so years ago. It was unique. Joe Sharp, her husband, has had a recent medical situation which seems serious to say the least. Hopefully it works out well for their family.
