Rosie Napravnik, born on 9 February 1988 in Mendham, New Jersey, is a former American thoroughbred jockey who began riding professionally in 2005 and became the top-ranked woman rider in North America. In 2012 she broke the wins and earnings record for a woman jockey and became the first woman to win the Kentucky Oaks, winning it again in 2014 on Untapable. She won the 2012 Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the 2014 Breeders' Cup Distaff, finished fifth in the 2013 Kentucky Derby and third in that year's Preakness Stakes, and is the only woman to have ridden in all three Triple Crown races. She was leading rider at Fair Grounds from 2011 to 2014 and announced an indefinite retirement after the 2014 Breeders' Cup. She now helps her husband, the trainer Joe Sharp.
