On Sunday, Wilson notched yet another win for the "distaff" side.

Emma-Jayne Wilson is the first female jockey to win the Queen's Plate in its 148 year history. While being interviewed on television as Mike Fox galloped back to the winner's circle, she said of this accomplishment, "Been there, bought the T-shirt, said and done!"
