Derby Trivia
On February 22, 1989, Barbara Jo Rubin became the first female jockey to
win a horse race. She rode Cohesian to victory at Charlestown Racetrack
in West Virginia. The first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby was
Diane Crump on May 2, 1970.
My grandparents took me to a horse race when I was 12-ish. Ended up with me owning and showing a Tennessee Walker/Arab. He had saddles and gear for English and Western, his own trailer and a stallion as his bestest friend.
