A former jockey, trainer and exercise rider, Amanda Roxborough, is the driving force behind Kylar Productions, a company that offers a variety of production services including DVD marketing for sales and promotions, web videos, training videos, stallion videos, farm videos, clinic videos and the “Race Day Experience,” which provides horse owners the opportunity to document a special event.

Recently, Roxborough (the 2014 recipient of the Darley Award for TV Presenter) teamed with a fellow former jockey, Francine Villeneuve, who won 1,000 career races, to create Sport of Queens, a racing syndicate that offers aspiring thoroughbred owners a lost-cost opportunity to get into the game.

How did you come up with the idea for Sport of Queens (SOQR, www.sportofqueensracing.com)?
