EIE Publisher's Note: Many mornings at the Oklahoma training track at Saratoga, we watched in awe as Patricia Meadow, known fondly as the "Galloping Granny" train her horses, riding them herself. She was a legend at the racetrack and was often three times older than many of the riders sharing the track with her. It wasn't until after her passing, from an article published by the Thoroughbred Daily News, that we knew about her interesting past which included degrees from Harvard University. Like her, we hope at her age we'd be able to enjoy life astride a galloping horse.
