Donna Brothers
Definition
Donna Barton Brothers is an American former jockey who won over 1,100 horse races during her 11-year career and now works as a prominent horse racing analyst and commentator for NBC Sports.
Known professionally as Donna Brothers, she comes from a racing family; her mother Patti and siblings Jerry and Leah were also jockeys.
Recently, after covering 26 Kentucky Derbies, she stepped away from NBC's on-camera Derby duties, leaving fans wishing for one more paddock interview.
