most of her life, working in racing stables as a hot walker and exercise rider in her teenage years, and later as a volunteer with rescued and
retired racehorses. Laurie became interested in pedigree research when the sons and daughters of her favorite horses started their racing
careers.

The Guide has been acclaimed internationally, and has developed into a yearly tool for breeders, owners and handicappers.

Her work has appeared on Twinspires Blog, Today's Racing Digest, ThoroFan, Tracksideview, and the UK site Horse4Course-Racetips.
