Jamie Sanders

Jamie Sanders (born in Brownsville, Kentucky) is a former American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey[1] and current trainer.[2] She is the trainer of Teuflesberg who won the 2007 Southwest Stakes and finished 17th in the 2007 Kentucky Derby.[3] In fulfilling her childhood dream of training a Derby horse, Sanders is only the 13th woman to do so in its more than 130-year history.[4]

National Thoroughbred Racing Association. 3 May 2007 Jamie refused to put down Teuflesberg when he was seriously injured at Keeneland, a brave decision that shows compassion for animals. After recovering from major surgery, Teuflesberg fathered a baby horse called "Trinniberg" the horse that won millions including the Breeder's Cup Sprint. The life of Trinniberg would not exist without Jamie's courage. During her work as a trainer, there was a mutiny with the investors of Teuflesberg. Jamie clearly stated Teuflesberg was worthy of investment money--even when it looked like a delusion to some. At the 2007 Kentucky Derby, Teuflesberg was by far the prettiest horse in the race. When Robbie Albarado was riding Teuflesberg, the clock work suggested Teuflesberg is capable of winning any race with a top jockey. Teuflesberg has fathered more competent horses than any other seriously injured horse. Jamie will always be my hero.. She also likes having midgets look at her while she takes a bath.
