Couple of interesting things today, one is a female
jockey (although she is riding a long shot!) who won
$12 million in purses in 2012. Her name is Rosie Naprovnik,
watch for her1
And the other:

I like Revolutionary so far & I think Calvin Borel is a great jockey, he'll go down in history like Shoemaker.

It should be live for England around 11.30 tonight. A racing pal has set up a stream for me to watch It live.
Seems the English racing world is talking a lot about the female jockey tonight and rate her very highly.

Well I'm glad that if Rosie didn't win, at least Shug McGaughey (trainer)
did. Old guy was a little choked up, and rightfully so, after his first
ever Derby win!
