There are a few female jockeys who will always be associated with their historic “firsts.” Diane Crump was the first to ride in a sanctioned race and the first to ride in the Kentucky Derby. Julie Krone the first to win a Triple Crown race. Rosie Napravnik the first to win the Kentucky Oaks. But who was the first female rider to win an Eclipse Award? It was in 1992 that Rosemary Homeister Jr. won the Eclipse Award as the outstanding apprentice jockey. Now she is a physical fitness trainer. She’ll discuss her successful riding career and her current dedication to making the lives of others better. Author, handicapper, and radio show host Rich Eng will join the show from his base in Las Vegas, where this weekend you can bet on the flip of a coin the color of the commentators suit in the Super Bowl! Rich and John will give their selections in the Patriots vs. Rams game and three races that are stepping stones to the Kentucky Derby – The Swale, Holy Bull and Robert B. Lewis Stakes.
