Sarah ‘Sally’ Ann Lundy (née Caldwell), 63, of Monrovia, California, passed away on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at Huntingdon Hospital in Pasadena, California, after a long battle with liver cancer. Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on August 26, 1954, Sally was the daughter of the late Mary and Pusey Caldwell. Sally graduated from Downingtown High School in Downingtown, Pennsylvania in 1972. She was interested in a career with horses at an early age. Growing up in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Sally worked with steeplechase trainers W. Burling Cocks and Bruce Miller and even rode in some steeplechase races before moving on to training thoroughbred race horses. Her career took her to New York, Florida, Kentucky, and California, and racetracks at Belmont, Saratoga, Pimlico, and Santa Anita, where she was last working for Carla Gaines. Sally became the first female trainer to run a horse in the Belmont Stakes in 1984. She worked as assistant trainer to Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel in California until Frankel’s death in 2009. While she was being treated for her cancer, Sally remained busy working at the racetrack, visiting national parks all over the country, and taking a trip with her 95 year old mother to Iceland this past February. Sally is survived by her two brothers, John Caldwell of West Chester, Pennsylvania and Stephen Caldwell of Columbia, Maryland. A Graveside Service will be at Union Hill Cemetery in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, October 17 at 11:00 AM In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in memory of Sarah Lundy to Old Friends Equine, a charity which takes care of retired thoroughbred horses. www.oldfriendsequine.org Arrangements by the Cleveland & Grieco Funeral Home (610-268-2166) of Avondale.
