This week’s style diary is about Sheila Rosenblum, the sole owner of Lady Sheila Stable, and chief investor and manager of Lady Sheila Stable Two and Triumphant Trio, an all-female ownership syndicate. This longtime resident of Manhattan came to the world of thoroughbreds and racing after a successful career in modeling for Wilhelmina and Ford, and training as a ballet dancer as an alum of the Royal Ballet School in London and the School of American Ballet.
She encountered increasing success in the racing industry since becoming an owner in 2010. One of her horses, La Verdad, is now even part of the Millionaire Ranks pushing her earnings past the $1 million mark. She recently had the great luck to purchase American Pharoah’s half brother, which she had Triple Crown-winning jockey Victor Espinoza name ChampionoftheNile. She lives a life mostly spent between Manhattan and the horse track, always in style!
Sibylle Eschapasse: Describe your style? If a close friend were to describe your personality in three words, what would they be?
Sheila Rosenblum: My style is definitely something I'd call eclectic classic. Downplayed elegance with fabulous accessories, really. I’m a dress girl. I love seeing women in dresses and love it when they show some leg in a nice heel. But then I also love jeans and a shirt and blazer paired with some great boots. So the classics, really, mixed up with a twist of modern and eclectic. That really defines my personality, too, I think.
Ms. Eschapasse: If a close friend were to describe your personality in three words, what would they be?
Ms. Rosenblum: Passionate, determined, and exuberant.
