Lisa Prestwood

With the calibre of female jocks and lack of,do you guys notice what a special talent Lisa was.Since shes been gone there hasnt been a Group One riding female jockey.The jockey academy seems to have taken the pedal off in recruiting female jockeys and the same can be said for authorities when it comes to african trainers the last being Bulana.Lets hope these young african jockeys eventually turn to training.

@cliftonking:

'The jockey academy seems to have taken the pedal off ..'

well observed mate!

Unfortunately, the system and agendas do not permit for this type of thinking;

Females are seen as lead characters in '50 + 1 Shades of Grey' and mention of blacks within the industry as politics to be catechised against the ANC, Malema, corruption, etc!

Lisa "Prestwood" was indeed a top class jock and won many races Buddy Marouns horses, Al Nitak?
She was not well after a few bad injuries have not heard from her in a while and hope she is well?
Any news would be appreciated

If u go to search exact and all dates we have plenty, here is one

Agree 100%. Any if u guys remember the flop horse in Durban that came up to Buddy & was easy to back first time out at 50/1 then shortened to 2/1 & won going away under Lisa Prestwood i unfortunatley only got 33/1 the horse became a champion & even went on to race in Dubai making SA proud the horse in question is AL Nitak what a horse only because of the champion himself Buddy.

Bump into her on facebook now and then,sure she is training Dogs..

I feel privileged to have known Lisa and was also partially responsible (when on the Gambling Board) to have pressured the then Jockey Club to give her her riding licence (together with Abie Fourie who rode a winner for me subsequently.... conflict of interests!).


Lisa married and has family. Her sister that was here sold out and re-located to England.

Abie Fourie had a fall, was hospitalised and never heard of again.


As much as the goings-on at the CC are concerned, isn't this pointed question that should be asked:


Isn't the horseracing industry a totally male-dominated monopoly?



Lol!

PLENTY talented and cracking lady jockeys in the UK. Don't know what's going on here in this day and age ? One would swear we still racing on Greenpoint Common.

Cud be quite a few in OZ also. Also well represented as " Drivers " in the Harness grand prix's.

{snotklap to Umlilo's head} Have you not heard of Ebony Flyer, Igugu, Princess Victoria {snorts in disgust... meanders off to find a woman to cuddle}

@Magi:


'...meanders off to find a woman to cuddle'

Hey! That's MY WOMAN!

(another snotklap to Umlilo!)

genievive michel was a very good rider and i believe she would have made it if not for the injury which stopped her career
