from behind and placed second to Lord Avondale's third place finish. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police moved in after the race and stated that changes had to made for Saturday's program to which track manager, Jimmy Smith, responded: "We'll have good starts if the horses have to be standing stock still when the race bell rings." The following day, Ring garnered attention after winning yet another race at South Side astride Calamity Jane. The leading headline of the column on page 10 of the Sports section reads: "Girl Jockey, Eva Ring, Scores Win With Calamity Jane". The sports columnist for the Edmonton Journal stated her victory was "Probably the biggest upset of the card". The win returned the second-highest money of the day, paying $6.70 on a dollar bet. Ring also garnered attention in 1941 as one of the out-of-town riders competing in both the Powder Puff Derby and the Beaux and Belles race held in Calgary. In the Sports section of the Calgary Herald, Ring was introduced as the out-of-towner who had "gained such a reputation as a rider that many patrons bet on her mounts simply because she is in the saddle." On August 20, 1941, Chinook Park racetrack in Calgary hosted the Beaux and Belles feature race, distance six furlongs, with a field of 8 horses, each to be ridden by one of 8 jockeys consisting of 4 regulars (males) and 4 females. The females were given a 13 pound advantage. The owners of the horses remained unaware of which jockey would be mounted on their respective horses until post time. The female jockeys dominated the race despite the heavy track. Miss K. Allen astride Russian Bank finished first by a short head beating Mrs. Finch on Mortgage Lifter. Freddy Soloman, one of the more experienced regulars, finished third on Cave Boy. Ring was astride Chinese Custom, and led the pack early but was overtaken and finished 6th. Again in 1941, Ring was riding the race favorite, Miss Kay, and got off to a bad start because of the old style barrier at the South Side racetrack; it appeared she was "left at the post" but upon circling the field she managed to gain on the leader. As she approached, she was struck in the head with a rock that was kicked-up by the horse in front of her. She kept riding and managed to finish 2nd
