The Nate Lull Podcast presents: The Story of Lady Upton. Nate and co-host Rich Turnbull share the remarkable story of Lady Upton, a nationally known harness racing horse from the small community of Mount Upton, New York. Born in 1864, she became one of the most successful “athletes” to ever come out of Chenango County, dominating regional racetracks in the 1870s and 1880s. Despite her success, Lady Upton still worked as a farm horse for the Chamberlain family, who played a significant role in her life and the community around her. She traveled by railroad to races across the Northeast and Canada, and her grave monument is still cared for today. Many may not know this story, so this project aims to bring her life back to the forefront in audio form. It’s the result of nine months of research and collaboration to honor her incredible legacy. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who contributed their time, knowledge, and support to make it possible. Editing and mixing by Robert Child.
