I think seeing how difficult it is for women to compete riding at top circuits makes me appreciate Krone a lot more in retrospect. She had some annoying riding habits but she could flat out ride. She is the only woman in this game who rode heads up against the guys and won more than her share. She was TOUGH.

And Anna Napravink in Md. She was absolutely tearing it up last year, and will likely continue that once she returns from injury.

Diane Nelson isn't nearly as bad as Chantal, et al. She just always had completely inept, hopeless mounts.


Chantal just never "got it." I don't know if it was a lack of aggressiveness or instruction or whatever, but when you take back a horse with speed and try to swing wide on the inner, you're going to lose. Simple as that.
