Jockey Anna Rose “Rosie” Napravnik is featured in the second installment of
NYRA’s newest video series “Riders Up,” now available on demand at http://www.nyra.com/ridersup/index.shtml.
The series provides fans with a comprehensive look at
the riders on the NYRA circuit, from the perspective of trainers, owners, and,
of course, the jockeys themselves as they discuss their motivations and thoughts
on riding in New
York.
In the most recent video, Napravnik, who finished
third in Aqueduct’s inner track standings with 42 victories for the meet that
ended March 30, discusses her career goals, motivation, and the importance of a
good work ethic. Trainers John Parisella and Edward Barker share their thoughts
on Napravnik’s versatile riding style.
The “Riders Up” videos can be viewed online at http://www.nyra.com/ridersup/index.shtml

“Riders Up” joins “Spotlight Series,” a behind the
scenes look at the people who help NYRA racing operate smoothly on a consistent

the Record,” candid conversations with some of New York’s most renowned
