Hutter to Be Honored by Turf Writers Hutter was on hand this sum- mer when her husband saddled Crimson Advocate to victory in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Roy- al Ascot, one of 10 stakes wins for the stable this year. Sean Clancy, a longtime Turf writer and former steeple- chase jockey who has known Hutter for decades, wrote about the trying times for the couple the last two summers in The Saratoga Special. “Last year, I was standing by the outside rail of the Oklahoma talking to George. It had been two weeks, maybe, since Cindy’s accident,” Clancy said. “He was always a horse trainer to me. That day, he was a husband. Scared of what lay ahead, scared for what Cindy’s life would look like. It was all so uncertain. The thought of Cindy trapped, dependent, un- able to live the life she had built ... man, it was devastating. The whole racetrack felt it. “Then this year. What a difference a year makes. We finished a Stable Tour and I said to George, ‘Hey, if a year ago, someone said you would win a race at Royal Ascot, with Cindy there, you’d win nine at Saratoga and Cindy would be watching the horses and offering her insights, her valuable insights...’ George shook his head and smiled, ‘She’s come so far. I’m so proud of her. If someone told me a year ago that this is what it would be like, I’d have taken it. Sign me up, give me the contract.’ “Cindy wrote the contract. She worked her way from a farm in Pennsylvania, galloping jump- ers in fields to the pinnacle of Thoroughbred racing. We always knew she was a strong rider. In the last year, she showed she’s a strong woman, the strongest of the strong. Not that I’m sur- prised.” The NTWAB Awards Dinner is traditionally held during Breed- ers’ Cup Week, October 31 to No- vember 5 and is the organization’s only fundraiser. A portion of the proceeds from the event are used toward internships for prospective Thoroughbred racing journalists and to support Thoroughbred industry charities.
