Not a protected class in reality, but still "protected in the minds of chivalrous men" who dominate the upper echelons of racing, hence the lack of female riders at the upper end of earnings...why is that..if they are just as aggressive, qualified, etc,...most of the criticism directed at jockeys involves male jockeys...
I venture to say that it is dishonorable for a man to criticize a female publically...it never works out well for a man to do this..even if the criticism is justified...it is an unwritten code that rarely gets breached and in that sense, women are a protected class...I'm not saying it is right or wrong...it is just a fact...
