The first-ever biography of trailblazing horse racer Lillian Jenkinson Holder, who broke the unwritten rule that women could not be jockeys
.
More than four decades before women were allowed to ride as licensed jockeys at recognized, pari-mutuel racetracks, a fearless farm girl turned race rider out of Nebraska was beginning her 47-year jockey career at venues beyond the reach of big-time track rules. Her name was Lillian Jenkinson Holder.

Jockey Queen: Lillian Jenkinson Holder, Horse Racing’s Fearless Lady
, Roger Peach tells the remarkable journey of a woman who never gave up on her dream of racing, despite the obstacles thrown in her path.

Featuring exclusive interviews with Jenkinson Holder’s surviving relatives and with jockeys who rode against her, as well as behind-the-scenes photos from the family’s collection,
Jockey Queen
is a fascinating glimpse into the cutthroat world of horse racing and the daring woman who defied all expectations.
