Lauren Alderman learned to read nerve and discipline from close range, married as she is to an Air Force pilot who flew the B-2 stealth bomber and the C-130J Super Hercules. That same eye for how a competitor is built now guides Aurora Thoroughbreds, the ownership venture she heads. Its mission is direct: bring a new generation of owners into the sport, evaluated with the same discernment her husband once applied to a cockpit.

With reporting from Thoroughbred Daily News.
