Desperate Horseplayers
I love finding out that celebrities are horseplayers, in particular, lady celebrities. Today equidaily pointed to this item about Terry Hatcher of Desperate Housewives fame.
Apparently, every Mother’s Day, the Desperate Housewives star takes her mom and her daughter to Hollywood Park for some live racing action
If that’s not excellent, I don’t know what is! Other lady horseplayers include Christina Ricci and the late Elizabeth Montgomery.

About a year ago(or more). I was watching Hollywood Park on TVG and Jennifer Love Hewitt was at HP rooting home a winner that her Mom owned.
Let’s not forget Jamie Lynn Sigler. Her father is a horse owner, primarily running out of Belmont. She is a major fan and I have seen her often up at Saratoga in the Summer.
rock out Dave & Robert!
I was hoping there would be a few more.
She always comes down and presents the trophy for the feature race. Last year, her daughter gave out the exacta on TVG.
Nice!
Cool stuff!
I’m reading a book on Spendthrift Farm and the author mentioned that cosmetic queen Elizabeth Arden was a HUGE horse owner. She won the 1947 Kentucky Derby with Jet Pilot, and her filly Fascinator won the 1954 Kentucky Derby. She also bought the great racemare Busher as a broodmare. Neat article about her in Time magazine (5/6/46) here: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,887019-1,00.html
Also, Dame Judi Dench owns horses: http://www.racingandsports.com.au/timeform/rsnewsart.asp?NID=123447&story=Weekend_Review_-_March_22/23
Jenny Craig (diet fame) owns horses with her husband Sid.
Wow, great additions Val & Charles!
Oops, Fascinator won the Kentucky OAKS :)
I love that you corrected your work! :)
