Columbus, OH — Jean E. Molino, 90, of West Palm Beach, Fla., died May 7, 2010.

Mrs. Molino was the mother of trainer Don Swick and aunt of horseman Gerry Bookmyer.

Along with her late husband, Charles, Mrs. Molino was an avid owner and breeder of many fine racehorses. Among her favorites were Cimarron, Fair Sara and Sharp Trick.

Into her late 80s Mrs. Molino remained a strong supporter of harness racing. While not able to travel to the tracks she stayed involved daily, armed with her satellite dish, Trackmaster program pages and an active phone wagering account.

Harness racing has lost a great fan and participant.
