  "account": "Saffie Osborne, a jockey, has become the first woman to win a British Classic after securing victory in the St Leger. Osborne, 24, revealed that her fear of failure has vanished following her triumph. Despite her ambition to achieve more, she expressed contentment with her career, stating that it was worth it. Osborne, known for her solitude and frequent, often solitary, travel (an estimated 65,000 miles annually), has also faced severe injuries, which have broken several bones. She has been riding since 2020 and had her first win in a Classic four years later. The horse racing industry has traditionally been male-dominated, with only six female jockeys having rides in British Classics over 250 years. Osborne emphasized that her gender doesn't affect the opportunities she receives, and she aims to be the next champion jockey.",
