Krone, who retired in 2004, holds the mark of US$90,126,584, with Wilson close behind at $89,161,572
Emma-Jayne Wilson may be a Canadian thoroughbred racing trailblazer and pioneer. But she had a very good mentor.
. Barring injury – Wilson missed some time last year with a concussion – the 42-year-old Brampton, Ont., native should surpass Krone’s mark in June or July.“As a competitor you know who your competition is, you know what you have to do,” said Wilson. “But for me, the numbers, the counting, the statistics aren’t my forte, although I’m aware of where I stand. It’s not my focus, winning races is my focus.”Wilson understands the doors people like Krone have opened.
“I still have the papers at home,” Wilson said. “I wrote down absolutely everything I could of what she was saying so I’d remember it forever.“I just said how awesome she was,” Krone said. “But you know what I also remember? Going to my computer and watching her race and thinking, ‘Holy moly, this girl can ride.”’ In 2000, Krone became the first woman inducted into the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame.
And the reasons for that passion are simple: The people who work in Woodbine’s backstretch and the horses.
