amongst the women trainers...arti doctor is good and nazak chinoy is a very shrewd and promising  trainer wonder why she does not have many owners. 

Trainer and jockey are totally different. Trainer taking statistical risk

But jockey taking physical & mental risk.

I will tell you a  real story

A good friend of me in 90's 

Now a trainer at Mysore, father also trainer with limited mounts

Once mother is a leading owner, brother in law is a classic trainer....

He was booked for a ride for Trainer Pradeep Annaiha , when we met at grocery shop ( near by high grounds) he just tried to avoid me....

I just called him with our casual words( intimates use vulger words) he turned up on me and replied I am helpless..... don't play any of my mounts in next two Bangalore day's.

I relpied him that I am playing with my own calculations and assessment, it is rock solid.

He scored double on both days ....all are favourites....but ranging from 17/10- 28/10

Now enjoying successful trainer life....

One name of a lady trainer I had forgotten earlier but rememered later was Mrs. Nina Lalwani.

Hello folks,

There is only one instance of a lady rider from abroad. That happens to be Ms Lisa Jones. I recall her ride on raging-hot favourite African Sky ( 40/100 ). She tore away from the pack right after the start and led by more than 10l turning for home but the scene underwent a dramatic change thereafter. She was passed by them all in the straight. Many opined poorly of that ride.

Among lady owner cum breeder, I recall of Maharani Gina Narayan of Cooch Behar. Famed Midnight Cowboy.was her best owned horse.
I do recall of a stallion which may been associated with her - Damaston.

Fearless Nadia, well-known cine actress too was associated with racing.

Divyug stud farm was run by a sibling pair of brother and sister.

Charming daughter of jockey-turned trainer Christopher Alford, Melissa, currently plays a vital role in Calcutta racing.

That ones that I could readily recant.

regds,
Cruise

Participation of women in Indian racing is on a small scale. I think you have missed name of  Ayesha Captain who was perhaps India's first lady jockey.

There have been more trainers -- Miss Diane Craig-Jones, Ms. Arti Doctor, Mrs Irene Patel (now Mrs Sunderji), Mrs. Parvati Byramji, Miss Nazak Chenoy are some names that readily come to mind.

Among breeders Youvrani of Alwar, Mrs. Anne Wright, OBE, Mrs. Shillagh Foster, Ms. Divya Chaudhary, Ms. Ameeta Mehra, Mrs. Simone Poonawalla-Pandole are prominent.

I am sure there are others that I could not remember. I am also sure that other readers will make good the omission.
