Anna Rose “Rosie” Napravnik
Born in 1988, began her career
in 2005, and has regularly been ranked among the top jockeys in North America
in both earnings and total races won.
She won the Louisiana Derby for the first time in 2011, and finished 9th
in the 2011 Kentucky Derby aboard Pants on Fire. In 2012, she broke the total wins and
earnings record previously held by Julie Krone, in the process becoming the
first woman rider to win the Kentucky Oaks, aboard Believe You Can, and winning
it again in 2014 aboard Untapable. As of
2013, she has been in the top 10 for two years in a row, and is the
highest-ranking woman jockey in North America.
She is only the second woman to win a Breeders’ Cup race, and the first
to win more than one, having won both the 2012 Juvenile aboard Shanghai Bobby,
and Distaff race aboard Untapable. Her 5th
place finish in the 2013 Kentucky Derby and 3rd place in the
following Preakness on Mylute are the best finishes for a woman jocket in those
two Triple Crown races to date, and she is the only woman to have riden in all
three Triple Crown races. As of 2014,
she announced her pregnancy and “indefinite retirement” – she continues to
assist her husband, a horse trainer, Joe Sharp, in training race horses in
their homes in Louisville, KY and New Orleans, LA.
