Female Riders Soar at Louisiana Downs

There appears to be a definite women's movement going on this summer at Louisiana Downs.

Last Sunday, Cassandra Buckley became the fourth female apprentice jockey to win a race here this season. She joins Anna Roberts, Bethany Taylor, and Ashlea Trosclair. A fifth, Stephanie Sheroski, has also ridden here after making the occasional journey up from her home base of Evangeline Downs. All five were named on mounts Sunday and join Beverly Burress and Monica Stanley to make up what is believed to be the deepest women's riding contingent in the country.
