cool the lady's for horsin' around!
1940: General Mills began shipping it's new cereal "Cheerioats" to six test markets. The cereal was later renamed "Cheerios" and has been on my breakfast shelf for over 65 years... 1970: jockey Diane Crump became the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby; finishing 15th aboard Fathom...but undoubtedly gaining the greater victory... https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisvi...-female-jockey

In 1970, she became the first female jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby. Crump won the first race on the undercard that day, and then on a horse named Fathom, came in 15th in a 17-horse field in the Derby. By the time she ended her racing career in 1985, she had ridden to 235 wins, though she is officially credited with 228 by Equibase.
