DRF|Napravnik's future in the sport is the great unknown

On a recent morning at the Trackside training center, where Napravnik was finishing up another busy session of training Thoroughbreds alongside her husband of three years, trainer Joe Sharp, she seemed very much at ease with this abrupt change of life.

“I think there’s a lot more I could accomplish if I were to come back,” she said. “But I don’t know how I’ll feel in a year or three years or however long it might be, if I’ll be itching to get back into the starting gate or if I’ll be consumed with raising children. Joe and I have seriously talked about having more than one child, so I don’t know. Nobody knows.”
