After Saturday’s Irish Champion Stakes, I’m fairly certain that many of us have run out of ways to describe So You Think. To borrow a line I heard in a commercial, “…all I can say is ‘wow’…”
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched So You Think race, he still continues to amaze me. That was the case once again in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes (Ire-I), run this past Saturday at Leopardstown.

Meet Mary Schweitzer
I’ve been working in various aspects of the Thoroughbred industry for close to 20 years; I’ve been a fan of horse racing for an even longer period of time, since I was six. That’s when Secretariat not only ran away with the Triple Crown, but ran off with my heart. Right then, I fell hook, line, and sinker in love with racing.
Even though I grew up in Michigan-not exactly known as a hotbed of Thoroughbred racing-I was determined to someday work in the industry. After earning a degree in horse management/equine science from Michigan State University, I transferred to the University of Louisville in 1988, into what was then their new Equine Administration program. Finally, I had made it to Kentucky!
Since that time, I’ve cleaned many a stall and worked with mares and foals. I worked for several years for Bloodstock Research and Information Services, during which time I was responsible for all stakes results and data for races occurring in countries outside the U.S. It was at this time that my love of foreign racing, especially that in Europe, developed. From BRIS I ‘moved my tack’ to The Blood-Horse magazine, where I worked in the research department and as a staff writer. I currently work as a freelance writer, and contribute on a regular basis to the Bloodhorse.com website.
