Retired
Hall of Fame jockey and Carlsbad resident Julie Krone will work horses
in the morning for Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella again this
year, although outside obligations may keep her from doing so as much as
she did last year.
High on Krone’s “to do” list is defending her
title in the St. Leger Legends charity race at Doncaster in England on
September 12.
Never at a loss for ideas or energy, Krone has
been “needling” Del Mar officials about staging a match race involving
herself and Chantal Sutherland – working title “The Girls of Summer.”
Krone
and Sutherland are both 0-1 in match races at Del Mar. Krone lost a
close one to Patrick Valenzuela in the 2003 “Battle of the Sexes,”
Sutherland a not-so-close one to Mike Smith in last year’s “Battle of
the Exes.”
