Around the Track 16 – Hall of Fame Jockey Julie Krone




Around the Track | Horse Radio Network show

Summary: Julie Krone's earliest memories contain horses, and her devotion to understanding the breed helped her become one of the greatest jockeys of all time, not to mention a pioneering athlete who was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. In this episode of Around the Track, Krone tells stories of her rough-and-tumble early days (fighting a male jockey), shares how she re-taught a racehorse in nine minutes in the paddock, talks about what she had to learn before going on David Letterman, and discusses how she recovered from the emotional and physical torment caused by injuries.
