BB: \"When I became a successful jockey ... there were no female role models to show me how to act. In the beginning I had to be scrappy and aggressive to be taken seriously by trainers, owners and other jockeys. I acted like a typical tough guy, not a girl. When success came, I had to learn that I was finally being afforded the luxury of being a woman.\"
