Along with her late husband Sidney, Jenny Craig raced the star Thoroughbred Candy Ride, the winner of the 2003 Pacific Classic in track record time.

The Craigs raced dozens of outstanding horses over the years, including champion Paseana and multiple-stakes winners Exchange, Dr Devious, Sidney’s Candy, Candy Ride and Twirling Candy. She drew much of her inspiration for her book from her riding experiences.
