Women jockeys have made so much progress in recent years they are indistinguishable from their male rivals rising star Page Fuller told AFP.
The two-time British Amateur Women Jumps jockey champion - on the second occasion she rode more winners than the men's champion - will along with the likes of Bryony Frost and Lizzie Kelly be competing for the top prizes at the Cheltenham Festival this week.Fuller, who turned professional and is now a conditional jockey and has ridden a highly creditable 12 winners this season, says there has been a rapid evolution.
"Lucy Alexander looks like she rides like a man, she is a role model for the English girls being the first woman to be crowned champion conditional was a big turning point and for English riders she really solidified the image of women riders."Snowden, who will have Fuller aboard his improving hurdler Monbeg Warrior in the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle on Wednesday, says the patronising attitudes of yesteryear are dead and buried.
There was no turning back after that although there was disappointment when she was unable to ride him at the Cheltenham Festival.
