Diane Crump
The first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby was Diane Crump in 1970. She finished 15th in a field of 17 horses aboard Fathom. Diane was also the first female jockey to ever ride in a thoroughbred race in 1969 at Hialeah Park, Florida.
Winning Colors [February 14, 1985 - February 17, 2008] was the last of three fillies to thus far win the Kentucky Derby. The winning date was May 7, 1988. The winning jockey was Gary Stevens [b. March 6, 1963]. The winning time was 2 minutes. 02-1/5 seconds.
Winning Colors probably robbed Risen Star (a son of Secretariat) from a Triple Crown Championship. Risen Star was ridden far to the outside on the turn to avoid another horse, and was unable to make up the ground. He came back to win both the Preakness and Belmont, the latter by 16 lengths.
No African American woman won the first Kentucky Derby.The first Derby was held on May 17, 1875. The winning rider of the winning horse was an African American male jockey, Oliver Lewis [1856 - 1924].
