I think there have been others, but I hosted the 1st women's jockey challenge at The New Mexico State Fair back in the early 90's with the late Ronnie Banks (who was a regional manager for the Jockeys Guild), and I remember being somewhat awestruck at how well these ladies could ride. Of course, we were getting the "cream of the crop", the leading female riders from every region across America, except for Julie Krone who wouldn't attend without a large appearance fee. (Don't get me started on Miss Krone or her appropriately named agent at the time "Snake" Cooper) The "challenge" was broadcast live on the old Prime Sports Network and we had a points system on 4 races similar to the one they used later for the men @ Lonestar Park. Some of the women jocks that attended included: a relatively unknown (at the time) girl by the name of Rosemary Homeister, Jr. (I think people know her pretty well now ) Tammy Purcell, Vicki Warhol, Lillian "Mitch" Kuykendall (who was actually the leading rider @ Charlestown @ that time), Jill Jellison, Tammy Fox, Cindy Noll, Kendra Taylor, Donna Barton (now Donna Brothers), and local riders Nancy Summers and Vicki Smallwood just to name a few.............

I remember a Paul Seefeldt- guess it was her brother.

I thought she was decent on the turf and got some long price horses home there. Do recall one time I had her on a 33/1 shot that ran 2nd, she got put up for first which gave me a $3k tri - that race was on the same Saturday Lil E Tee won the KD.

She was also the one jock who could ride a Catherine Voss mare- the mare wouldn't let any other jock on her according to Voss. Later had to retire the mare for this reason as AS moved on or quit.
Funny how one remembers the big scores !!

Are there any videos of that Godiva chick in action?

Julie Krone was the best female jock ever. Many of her records may never be eclipsed. Total wins for career. Wins in one year. And wins on one card. Also I think she has the all time record for wins in one day. Gotta check on that one. Also I think her fight career is 2-0. She punched out Art Madrid at the Meadowlnads and I think got a tko against another jock at Monmouth.
