In this episode of OTTB on Tap, co-hosts Niamh and Emily dive into Emily’s first experience at the 2013 Retired Racehorse Project Makeover. Back when it was known as the Retired Racehorse Training Project (RRTP), Emily reflects on the unique challenges of transitioning from city life in Philadelphia to preparing her OTTB, Victory Money (aka "Prima"), for the Pimlico Showcase. Emily also shares how she selected Prima based on her pedigree, movement, and conformation, and why she believed Prima was the right horse for the challenge. Tune in to hear about the training process, the key decisions that shaped Prima’s progress, and Emily’s journey leading up to the track at Pimlico.
Discover the steps involved in preparing a Thoroughbred for the RRP Makeover, the pivotal moments, and what Emily’s experience can teach today’s OTTB enthusiasts.
