Horse Racing Fantasy Community

I have a confession. I was bitten by the horse racing bug when I was really young. And I mean VERY young. Many people don’t know this about me, but I’ve been around horses my entire life.

As you can imagine, one of the questions I get asked most often is what it’s like being a female jockey in a typically male dominated sport. And I have to say, the guys are great. The jockeys I compete against are fair and they’re just great riders. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I’m holding back once the gate drops! Even though we have a respect for one another, when I get in the gate, it’s all about me and my horse – that’s my team and I’m all about winning!

I know what you’re asking yourself right now: is this blog just going to be about what it’s like to be a woman in a male-dominated sport, and how I rose above the “glass ceiling” of racing to really make a name for myself? Well, yes and no.
