IN THIS ISSUE
As the second woman to race in the Kentucky Derby and the first woman to ride in the Preakness, P.J. Cooksey is a trailblazer for women jockeys. She is one of only three women in the sport with over 2,000 career wins, along with Rosemary Homeister Jr. and Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame member Julie Krone. Cooksey celebrated her biggest win in 2002, when she beat breast cancer and joined an elite group of survivors. In addition to her numerous awards—including Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, the Mike Venezia Memorial Award, and the Vince Lombardi Symbol of Courage Award—Cooksey’s legend is sure to include her passionate commitment to the horse racing community.
A retrospect of the Louisville Ballet’s 60-year history reveals a multitude of inspiring accomplishments: 70 world-premiere ballets, a repertoire of over 150 works by renowned choreographers including George Balanchine and André Prokovsky, and the privilege of having Mikhail Baryshnikov perform in their repertoire during the 1978-1979 and 1979-1980 seasons.
