Mary Rampellini was the sweetest, kindest, most non-judgmental person you could ever meet. She treated everyone with warmth and sincerity. We will miss her greatly in the Oaklawn Press Box.
A really tough loss for our racing community. My condolences to her family and friends.
Oaklawn @OaklawnRacing should name one of its (with all due respect) horribly named stakes races after Mary @DRFRampellini. There has never been a more lovely person grace the halls of OP. She will be missed but never forgotten.
I’m done with horse racing. No TVG, no mas. It’s just not a fun game anymore when your odds can get crushed by CAW. Horse racing hasn’t evolved like modern sports betting and more attractive betting opportunities. Most of my favorite trainers have quit too.
