Out of curiosity, what's going on with Chris McCarron's school? Are there many women involved in the program? There are clearly examples of both good and bad female jockeys just like with men so I get frustrated when the ones making the news are like Chantal. It just confirms in the minds of some chauvinists that women can't do it. Sharp minds and intuition are important in getting the best out of your mount and some women can manage the physical demands. If you doubt that, look at female bodybuilders and gymnasts. Surely there are some that just need the right opportunity like that training program.

I think that most people have moved beyond the sex of a jockey. There are some good, young women jockeys that are going to do well.

I was hoping she would go to Los Angeles and get into Porn.

I know that the school is open and that there are female students. There were stories in the Kentucky papers, and pictures, but they may not still be available.
