Rosie Napravnik has become the first female jockey to ever win the Kentucky Oaks by riding a horse named “Believe You Can.” The horse and jockey combination were considered a huge long-shot to win the race, but obviously they believed they could and they did! <\/p>\n
Congratulations, Rosie!<\/p>\n\n\n
