jockey

In horse racing, Black jockeys won more than half of the Kentucky Derby held from 1875 to 1903 — until Jim Crow eliminated the Black jockey.

She is believed to be jockeying for a cabinet position.

"I thought by now 30% of professional jockeys would be women, and you don't see many women having big races in the Classics like the Derby," said Wiltshire.

“I love what I do. It’s fun to be in horse racing, especially with big races. The Breeders’ Cup has the best horses, the best trainers, the best jockeys.

It’s a meritocracy in that the very best reap the bulk of the reward, while the rest jockey for position, trying to grit through to the next tier.
