Saffie Osborne

thumb|Saffie Osborne Saffron Rose Osborne (born 11 March 2002) is a multiple Group race winning British jockey who competes in flat racing. In September 2026, she became the first female jockey to win a British Classic race when Highwayman won the St Leger. Quotes It has been a male-dominated sport for an extremely long time, and I suppose it's becoming less and less of a conversation, which is quite nice. When people talk about the firsts of what women have done, I think to have my own one is quite special. I think it's also quite poignant because there's so few left of first things for women to do in this sport. I got to achieve what I always dreamed of achieving. You wouldn't be a jockey if you didn't want to be champion jockey one day. I think this is the first year that maybe I truly believe that I could one day.
