Bummer for Rosie - Shanghai Bobby makes his return to racing: post 3 in 6-horse field for Aljamin Stakes at 6 1-2 furlongs Friday (Sep 20th) at Belmont.
Named rider? John Velazquez gets it. Whereas Rosie had all his prior starts.

While I’m hoping Rosie has a bang up year, Johnnie V is my fave rider this year so I’m glad to see him get that horse.
Rosie had one heck of a day Wed 9-18-13 at Kentucky Downs!
Her 9 mounts for the day produced:
Race 1 - won
Race 3 - third
Race 5 - won
Race 6 - won
Race 7 - won
Race 9 - won
Race 10 - second
Race 11 - second
Race 12 - fifth
Rosie won the Keeneland Fall 2013 meet - first time a female jockey has accomplished that.Donna Barton Brothers tweeted her this compliment
@RosieNapravnik continuing to make women everywhere proud 2 b a woman. Congrats, Rosie, on your @keeneland Jockey title! #welldeserved
Unfortunately she took a hard spill at Churchill Downs on Monday the 27th
… was unseated from her mount Be Nice or Leave prior to the seventh race. She walked into the back of the track ambulance following the spill, where she complained of leg and back soreness. According to Churchill Downs officials, she was wheeled to first aid for further examination by doctors and was deemed body sore with no broken bones.
At least had some humor regarding it in a tweet:
Thx for all the concern… Ill be sporting a few new temporary hoof print tattoos but I am fine other than a bit soreness!

Why is this such a “thing” ? We all know girls are good jockeys. Do you have a crush or something ??
