“She began as a novelty, the latest young woman who turned a love for horses into a passion for competition. She traded in life as a farm girl for a career as a jockey, battling more than the ordinary set of long odds. To make it as a man is hard enough. To make it as a woman in white pants and silks, you must be an athlete of rare fortitude. You must have the body of an Olympic gymnast and the attitude of a middle linebacker. You must expect scorn and prejudice and then, if you survive and prosper, there will be rampant jealousy.
Julie Krone earned the right to ride fast horses by beating men at their own rough trade. She has paid the price in the precious currency of broken arms and legs. She has been rewarded with a fame that transcends the sport. Her face bearing down from atop a Belmont Stakes winner, has become the single most recognizable countenance in the racing game.”
