Todays card wasnt anything special.

Except for Chantal just winning the HGC :)

Why would that be special?

Its been pretty bad the last couple weeks, but hard to blame the trainers and owners, they are running for considerably more money at Del Mar.

altho i think the horse won it, the point was that chantal became the first female jock to win that race.

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.

Pretty sure he was joking since Game On Dude was given higher in his previous start.

Yeah, you are right.

:tro:

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.

not seeing it

What do you not see? Rosie being the better between her and chantal or Rosie being one of the better jocks in the country

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

Agree

Who is hotter looking? Rosie or Chantal?

Both, but I would go with Chantal.
