Guru in Search of Chantal Sutherland
People come to my site in search of Chantal Sutherland all the time. In fact, she’s my most frequent search criteria (ok, currently tied with ‘green but game’, but that’s a recent development). Usually, they’re looking for photos but today’s inquiry was a first.
My mid afternoon malaise of error message writing (don’t ask) was pleasantly interrupted by an email from an employee of Guru Energy drinks. It seems as though Chantal Sutherland has become a fan of Guru and they’re trying to get a case of it to her, but not having much luck. Something about a wrong apartment number.
The best advice I could give was to contact Woodbine. But after looking at their site, I have some more advice… do an ad campaign featuring lady jocks!
Aside from Chantal, there’s Shannon Uske and Dierdre Panas at Monmouth, Maria Charles at Philadelphia Park and Jacqueline Davis at Belmont to name a few. And these are just the ones I could easily track down pictures of/think of off the top of my head.
Give it some thought Guru, nothing says organic and natural energy drink like lady jockeys!

Inez Karlsson at Arlington/Hawthorne. Just won the apprentice title at AP. She boxed in Sweden and could kick Arnold’s ass.
I get a ton of hits on certain days from people searching Chantal Sutherland. Especially from picture searches.
winston - excellent! I couldn’t track down a photo of her but she on Facebook!
Cangamble - there are days when I think there must have been some kind of public mandate for all Canadians to search the internet for pictures of Chantal Sutherland… it’s very odd!
What ever happened to Carol Cedeno? Any confirmation to the rumor that she is “in foal”?
For most of the info for female jockys - check this site.

For almost a year, when I check on statistics on my photo website, Chantel Sutherland is by far the most searched for photo. Her image gets hundreds of “hits”

Val - I almost included her but at the very least don’t think she’s riding at the moment (which is a damn shame!). I was never able to confirm the “in foal” stories but would still like to find out
Textspect - forgot about that link, thx!
Bud - great stuff!
Shannon Uske is by far the coolest female jockey, and an awesome rider. And that has NOTHING to do with me knowing her since she was a little kid :^)
I saw Chantel out at Clockers’ Corner (Santa Anita Racetrack) one morning last week, she was exercise riding (don’t know for which trainer). I spoke to Chantel’s agent yesterday, who told me she’s at Woodbine through the end of the week, returning to Santa Anita on Sunday for good! I hope to get a word with her next week, which will make it right to my blog. maryforney.blogspot.com.
Thank you soooo much for your help! I can proudly say: GURU has found that hard-to-find blonde beauty :)
Hopefully we can share some nice photos of Chantal soon!
SKA - thanks for clearing that up!
Mary - thanks for the info! wish I was hanging out at Clocker’s Corner…
Kadi - you’re welcome (from all of us)… keep us posted, and remember that horse racing provides an excellent & exciting backdrop for advertising! :)
Inez Karlsson is younger, tougher, prettier, and a better rider than all mentioned above! Should be Guru spokeswoman!
