She seems like a solid person from the interviews I've seen. Likable and all. Obviously that isn't how you pick a trainer though, how they respond to a question posed by Quint Kessenich or Hammerin' Hank, but what about her might make you pick or not pick her for your horse?

Helen Pitts is one of the best horsemen in racing. Prepared every horse that ever ran a step under Ken McPeek's name for years.. in the mornings.. on their back. Curlin, who had shin issues and more as a yearling and 2yo, wouldn't have been ready for anything that he's faced if not for Helen. She's as good as anyone running a public stable in American racing.
