Given the number of female riders the past couple decades it does not seem like a big deal anymore.

it's still not quite a level playing field, and there are still plenty of races that a female rider has yet to win. probably just not as big a deal anymore.

Is the 107 earned by Chantal the highest BSF ever earned by a female jockey?

Krone was aboard Candy Ride for his 123 in the Pacific Classic.

Female jocks have ridden only twice in the gold cup and both mounts were Chantal. All she needed to do was stay on the horse for the win. Rosie Napravnik is by far the best between them and probably one of the better jocks in the country right now.

I dont split hairs between two avg riders, and neither one is one of the better riders in the country.
