• She started giving english lessons shortly after her move upstate.
• 1973-1986 Loraine rode jumpers and showed the circuit very successfully with 10-12 students.
  
• The business took off so she needed a larger facility.
• 1979 purchased an 87 acre farm in Gardiner, New York.
• Loraine trained and showed an Open Jumper named Atlas, who was eventually sold to the Canadian Olympic Team.
• 1986 ONTRACK THOROUGHBRED TRAINING CENTER was started
• 1986 applied for NYRA trainers license to train Thoroughbred race horses. Also licensed in NJ and PA racetracks.
• 1987 won race by 19 lengths at Saratoga with Valuable Lady.
• 1986-1999 held a jockey school, Paul Toscano, Rodney Soodeen, Philip Teator, Andre Sanchez, ect. Philip Teator in 1997 was awarded the ultimate Eclipes Award in his Apprentice year.
• 1989-2002 trained 2 year olds for racing 30-60 head.
• This led to many other opportunities, lay-ups and breaking and training.
• Ontrack and Loraine had many successful experiences with the Thoroughbred industry. Both horse showing and Racing.
• It supported the farm very well.
• With Loraine's great reputation on the race track, she was given the chance to attain horses that did not make it on the race track. These horses were retrained by Loraine and given a new life in the show ring.
• Honorary member of the NY Horse Rescue for the work done in taking off the race track and giving them new careers.
• Loraine always kept good contacts with the horse show world. She managed to attend many horse shows throughout her racing career.
• After Renée Romeo (Loraine's daughter) graduated from university, she came back to ride Hunters and Jumpers with her mother.
• This was when Ontrack shifted gears back to Thoroughbred Breeding and the show ring, with a major focus on horse sales. Considering that Loraine has been retraining Thoroughbreds for the show ring for many years, she choose to make a big decision...
• December 2007 Ontrack was closed and was sold and she retired in FL. Ontrack has been transformed into a fair weathered small business called Showboat Stables L.L.C. in Naples FL. Showboat's sole purpose is to retrain the Thoroughbreds for the show ring on a smaller scale.
• This is as close as Loraine can get to retirement, she could not live with out horses in her life.
• You can still catch her in the show ring with new students and training new TB Hunter/jumper prospects!
• Loraine's true passion in life is training riders and horses to communicate to the highest level!
