Kim Hye Sun Becomes First Female Jockey To Win A Korean Classic

Kim Hye Sun made history in Korea last week when she became the first female jockey to win a Group race in that country, reports korearacing.live. Not only was her victory in a top-tier event, it came in a classic race: the Korean Oaks at Busan.

Riding 56-1 outsider Jejui Haneul, Kim drove home fiercely from the rear of the field to just get up in time, winning by a head at the wire over Bright Star.
