Penelope Miller grew up as a horse-crazy kid on her parents’ farm in Ocala, Florida, and not much has changed since then. She is now the Senior Manager of Digital Media at America’s Best Racing, and spends her weekends traveling to racetracks across the nation to photograph and write about some of the sports biggest events. Before that, she worked on farms from Kentucky to Australia, and worked for six years at Tampa Bay Downs as the Horsemen’s Liaison. When she’s not in an airplane or the office, Penelope can be found riding at Riverdale Stables in the Bronx or flying through the air at Trapeze School New York.

Penelope tied for second place in the 2018  Real Rider Cup aboard the outstanding retired racehorse and all-around very good boy Disco Elvis, owned and trained by Meghan Wicks Doran. In 2019 she was aboard the wonderful Fort, owned by Abi Skillman, riding for Team Racing Media.

“Horses have given me absolutely everything, and I am so grateful for the chance to give back through the Real Rider Cup. If you’ve ever fallen in love with a pony, if you’ve cheered on your favorite Thoroughbred at the track, or if you just want to help out, please consider a donation here to benefit the incredibly worthy charities supported by the Real Rider Cup: New Vocations, the Retired Racehorse Project, and the Fair Hill Thoroughbred Show.”
