In 1968, women mockingly labeled jockettes by a skeptical press, had begun demanding the right to apply for jockey licenses. On May 2, 1970, holding a permit to ride, Diane Crump shattered tradition by becoming the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby. Over her career she amassed 235 wins. Diane Crump: A Life in the Saddle tells Crump's story through her own narrative, magazine and newspaper coverage of her career, and first-hand interviews.
