The funny thing is the only people that care about girls riding in races is the media. Maybe when it first came in there was a fuss made by the trainers and other jockeys but nowadays they're just part of the furniture. Go to a point to point at the weekend and you'll see any amount of girls race riding. There wasn't many riding when I was who I'd have told couldn't ride because they were a girl, I quite like my teeth and I might have been a few shirt afterwards! Girls have reached more notoriety on the flat than over fences more quickly because most of the time they can do the lighter weights in the big races where opportunities can be limited - Hollie Doyle for example is only 7st 10lb not that she tells many people! She maintains she's 8st.
