At Portland a few years ago, we had more girl jockeys than guys, not so anymore.

Oh the good old days....not sure who's out there anymore and haven't followed it much since I moved, but used to love Twyla Beckner and Shawna Barber, and the fact that they'd stand around after races and just shoot the **** with you, having no idea who you were.

twyla is going to school now, and i think Shawna Barber married Chris Dragone, who was GM at Portland, Great Lakes, and most recently Maryland JOckey Club.

Our leading rider the past couple years has been Joe Crispin, but Ricky Frazier who has been Emerald's top dog the past few years will be coming down this year. 2 years ago our avg. handle at PM was 200k and last year it was almost 600k, so things are definately improving here.
