Delp: Why I’m leaving racing
Pajeen Delp is racing royalty: the daughter of Hall of Fame trainer Bud Delp, who conditioned the great Spectacular Bid. Following her father’s footsteps, Delp had worked in the racing industry from the time she was a kid through earlier this year.
But in February, she announced she would be leaving the industry she loves for a career in the restaurant industry. It was a bittersweet decision, she said, after detailing why she’d made it, but the time had come.

Linda Dougherty caught up with several people in the New Jersey Thoroughbred industry to take their temperature in February, three months prior to the opening of the 2017 season.
