Female harness racing driver keeps winning in male-dominated sport

Lauren Tritton is one of very few women in the male-dominated industry of harness racing in the United States.

back 30+ years ago Batavia had 4 female drivers as I recall.

The Australian and New Zealand drivers which give it a go in the states usually go quite well, as our racing in AUS and NZ is much tighter driving, being more competitive in jostling for pushing out or holding in, due bigger fields and longer distance racing, where horses sitting 3 wide from the bell, and 4 and 5 wide down the back straight is the norm, where our drivers learning to balance and coax a horse to give its best in our jostling races hones their skills. When our drivers like Dexter Dunn, Andrew McCarthy, Todd McCarthy and Lauren go to the states its much more open driving, where their previous experience to balance horses to give their best and their tactical skills after driving in larger fields sees them competing quite competitive against the best in the states

Not her winning. It is the horses.

They help her get the Number home just like they help each other each and every night. Most corrupt dirty sport out there...
