What was unique about that race last night was they were all amateur jockeys- surprisingly it wasn't a disaster...

Not that it makes a difference, but just by the names it seems about 9 of the 11 riders in that race were female.
I don't follow the racing there, but I would think that was an unusual happening?
I wonder if the 139 pound weight allowed some folks to compete in a live race that otherwise just work horses? Not that many 139 pound races I ever see.
