"The broader racing community is very much a tight knit family … [Leah] has only been in my care as an apprentice just for the one year, and she has endeared herself to just about everyone that she comes in contact with.""Leah has an enormous battle ahead of her, but the signs from the [medical team] are really, really encouraging.

Good luck Leah.

Keep fighting young lady 🙏🏼❤️
