September 1968, Circuit Judge Ernest A. Loveless overturned the commission's denial. On March 1, 1969 Tuesdee Testa, Santa Anita's first female jockey, won her second career mount. On that same day at Florida Downs, Diane Crump achieved her first race win. Crump was the first female in the U.S. to compete as a professional jockey in a pari-mutuel race, "despite boycotts, hecklers and a dubious society". She was also the first female jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby. Francine Villeneuve acquired her jockey's license in 1987, and became the first female to ride and place in the Queen's Plate, Canada's oldest and most prestigious race. Chantal Sutherland raced in the US and Canada but it wasn't until the year 2000 that she began her career as a licensed jockey. She was another trail blazer who loved the sport, and helped pave the way for other women to become licensed jockeys. It wasn't until the early 21st Century that female jockeys were given opportunities to compete globally in the most prestigious races with large purses, such as the 10 million Dubai World Cup. There has been noticeable progress for female jockeys over the years, but they are still facing many of the same issues the earliest female jockeys were facing during Eva Ring's time. They are still being discriminated against despite research that has demonstrated women ride as well as men. Some have also been subjected to sexual harassment and bullying.

But not all victories end with a victory celebration, as evidenced by the seventh race of the meet. There were no starting gates at South Side racetrack; therefore, at the start of each race, jockeys had to ride their horses up to the designated starter and get underway. Ring was astride outsider Lord Avondale and broke at the start to gain four lengths on the field in what became the "disputed seventh race". Race fans booed with disapproval and threw cushions onto the track because the horse Dawn Breeze was blocked at the start and lost any chance of winning. The favored horse Budover passed Lord Avondale to win the race, while Voltear gained ground
