Melanie Giddings has had a variety of horse racing roles, including a short, but coveted career as a jockey. These days, she is playing a key role in the success of champion conditioner Mark Casse.

Born in Cobourg, ON, Giddings’ affinity for all things horses dates back to her pre-teen years growing up in the town that lies just under 100 kilometres east of Toronto.

These days, over a career that’s spanned more than 15 years, she’s part of one of thoroughbred racing’s most successful training outfits, contributing to plenty of memorable moments and trips to the winner’s circle.
