Cathy has been planning her retirement for a long time. She bought a place in Saratoga at least a few years ago and has been planning on leaving for at least that long. It's scary to think how long she has been at NYRA but I think it's around 30 years.
She will be working this year's Belmont and Saratoga, however, and it is up in the air whether or not she will work those periods in future years. I imagine if NYRA maintains the franchise she will at least help out at different times.
Cathy is a terrific person who will be missed by a lot of us. She, along with others in her department, have been kind listeners to many of our gripes over the last 20 years.
