After twenty-five years behind the scenes at Pletcher Racing Stable, COO Maggie Sweet has decided to step down later this season, according to a release from Pletcher Racing Stables Friday.
“A number of factors have influenced my decision. Personally, I would like to spend more time with my young daughter during the summer. Professionally, I am interested in exploring other aspects of the racing and breeding industry,” Sweet said.
During her tenure, Sweet played a pivotal role in the growth and continued success of Pletcher Racing Stable. More recently, she was a driving factor behind the establishment of Todd Pletcher as an industry stallion maker.
Pletcher commented, “Maggie contributed in many ways and has played a huge part in the success and development of our stable. She will be missed by our entire team and will be impossible to replace.”
