Storyline

The story of women in racing is more and more the story of racing itself. Women have arrived in American horse racing, from coast to coast, bringing a new energy and fresh perspective to the industry. They've won their spurs with talent and hard work. And something more - heart, compassion, a real love for the game, a real love for the horse. It hasn't always been an easy trip, but women have come a long way, from obscurity to the winner's circle, from the back barns to the Hall of Fame.
