The best finish for a female jockey in the Derby is fifth (Rosie Napravnik in 2013). Thirteen of the 15 riders in the first Derby were African-Americans. Black jockeys won 15 of the first 28, with Isaac Murphy taking three. The winning trainers in two of the first three Derbys were former slaves -- Ansel Williamson (Aristides, 1875) and Ed Brown (Baden-Baden, 1877). In 1891, Dudley Allen was the last African-American trainer to win the Derby. No winner has emerged from post 17. Since 1900, post 1 is tied for post 5 with 12 victories.

Overview Black Girls Talk Sports is a podcast where women of color discuss all things sports, including but not limited to amateur and professional football, basketball and baseball. Why I created this podcast? Growing up I loved and followed football, basketball, and baseball. I knew what was going on; I could call players by name; and could rattle off some stats. I enjoyed watching Doug Flutie, Joe Montana, Magic Johnson, Dr. J., Kareem, Steve Garvey, Ozzie Smith, and so on. I also I wanted to become - among many things - the first female newscaster for the National Football League. Keep in mind, the only sports that I played were kickball, dodgeball, and powderpuff football. Fast forward, life happened and here I am. I'm not an expert, but I have an opinion and I'm sure other women do too. I hope to learn something new and expand my horizon. Plus, I can always research something that I don't know and engage in a meaningful conversation with you. Another reason why I created Black Girls Talk Sports podcast was to give women a safe space to discuss sports without male intrusion. This does not mean that I won't interview men for the podcast. It just means: You will hear me most weeks along with other women of color – some you might know and others you might not. No, I don't discriminate against other women. They are welcome here as well – just know it will be predominately women of color. Favorite Teams I'm from Indiana; I like the Colts and Pacers. I graduated from Indiana University, so I'm a fan of IU basketball too. I went there during the Bobby Knight era. Therefore, I will seem bias. I will, however, show respect for your team, even if it's the Cleveland Browns.
