Tami Bobo, a partial owner of Catalytic, one of the horses running in the 150th Kentucky Derby, has shared her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to the prestigious world of horse racing. Bobo, who has had two previous horses run in the Derby, credits her success to her ability to see the potential in overlooked horses and give them a chance to shine.
Bobo’s story is one of perseverance and determination. Starting out as a young single mother, she began buying and selling auction barn horses to make ends meet. Through hard work and dedication, she eventually entered the world of horse racing and has now seen three of her horses make it to the gates of Churchill Downs.
Despite facing challenges and setbacks, Bobo has remained steadfast in her belief that every horse deserves a chance to prove themselves. She has a keen eye for talent and has been able to spot potential in horses that others may have overlooked. Her latest horse, Catalytic, was purchased for a bargain price of $125,000 and has proven to be a strong competitor among some of the world’s most expensive racehorses.
Bobo’s story serves as a reminder that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their goals. As she prepares to watch Catalytic race in the Kentucky Derby, Bobo remains grateful for the opportunities she has been given and hopes for a safe and successful race for her beloved horse.
