I have been raised in the horse business for over 40 years. I started from being raised on a large thoroughbred breeding farm in CA - to training along side with many Hall of Fame trainers in CA and KY. I was married to a Corey Nakatani, a Hall of Fame jockey for 15 years. I traveled all over the world with him at different racetracks, including Dubai, Japan, and Hong Kong. I have the background of managing people and a business for many years, being self employed for over 30 years. My understanding of budgets and money management are crucial for a successful business. I am currently working with track management, regulatory agencies and horseman in all capacities as the safety steward in Indiana. I understand the problems that we face today as an industry and will work aimlessly towards making horseracing safe and prosperous for the future. I am a horse woman who wants to help other horsemen across KY.
