She rode a double today, including the Listed Boulder Cup on a 30/1 pop. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

She's always ridden.
Jockeys ride into their 50's, 60's and even 70's (Danny Miller).
She potentially has another 20-30 years of riding. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Did she ride all her life, and only get her big break in the last 18 months? |

From one of the articles in the OP....
“I’ve had a bit of a different path to becoming a jockey,” she said.
“I’ve been riding equestrian all my life and then I rode down at Ascot one day and people were saying ‘why don’t you become a jockey?’.”
“As soon as I first galloped a horse, I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
I’d never really had the opportunity but I started around 10 months ago and here I am.” _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |
