  A bit later than the 70's , but there was a rush of female apprentice, think 2 of the more prominent were Lisa Harris & Lind Martin, what ever happened to them. Paula Wagg, Marilyn Fagan & Irene Pateman jumped from Powder Puff derby's to fully fledged Jockeys back in that era, would have been a massive jump

  I think Lisa Harris is a successful trainer in South Africa....remember seeing an interview and although older I believe it was the same person who was riding here.Used to be apprenticed to Paul Jordan I think.....

  Camelhair won 2 on a day, Bunny had backed it for plenty, it dropped the jock before the `1st and got away, Bunny said it's  got to run, so it ran and won, won the last that day too. Very very good judge was Bunny Hyde, John Wilson was the jock
