Kayla Stra on the rise

Kayla Stra moved from her native Australia to Southern California in 2007 to enhance her career as a jockey, not to become a reality show celebrity.
The jockey part didn't go well, so in October she moved to Golden Gate Fields, where her reputation from participating in the Animal Planet television show "Jockeys" preceded her.
After winning just 17 of 410 mounts in her two years at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, Del Mar and Fairplex, the 25-year-old Stra went 12-for-76 in the fall meeting at Golden Gate Fields and is 10-for-69 in the winter-spring season.
