Jockey Robyn Smith
Well-Turned Ankle Boots 'em Home
By IRA BERKOW
NEA Sports Editor
NEW YORK—(NEA)—When trainers scrutinize the legs
of jockey Robyn Smith in a mini-skirt, it is doubtful that
these anatomical experts are checking her thigh, gaskin.
shank, hock, fetlock or pastern for strength and speed, as
they might some other filly.
Yet her leg is long and strong, satisfying her vocational
needs, and her ankle is properly well-turned, satisfying
any trainer’s esthetic standards.
"I’m as strong-in the legs, where it counts for a /
jockey-as any rider in the game,” said Miss Smith.
“Legs are the most important physical part of riding,
as far as strength is concerned."
Miss Smith, 26, a Stanford University alumna, is the
only female jockey to mount a sustained “ invasion," as
it has been called, of New York thoroughbred racing.
Because some owners still blush at giving a lady a chance
on a horse, Miss Smith has ridden fewer than 60 races in
her two-year career. But she had registered 10 wins as
of early April, for a winning percentage of nearly 20 per
cent Since she is an apprentice jockey, this performance
outdistances that of most of her peers with a seven-
pound weight allowance, and is neck-and-neck with the
winning percentage of most full-fledged riders.
At 5 feet 7. she is the tallest jockey at Aqueduct this
season And unquestionably the most striking. She is
handsome and, of course, well-groomed. Her face, under
jockey head gear and upturned goggles, has the healthy,
mink-wealthy tone of the horsey jet-set women from the
other-side-of-the-track. Her small, straight nose is fla-
vored with freckles and presents, surprisingly, a sophisti-
cated—not cute—mien Her eyes are clear-blue, intelli-
gent, no-nonsense But. oh. those legs
“'I was born with good legs,” she said, standing in rid-
ing togs after breezing a horse in a morning workout.
"But you can have good-looking legs and not necessarily
strong ones My legs are strong, too. but not muscle-
bound.
"I work hard to keep my legs fit. I run around the
track two miles every day I’ve done everything to make
my legs stronger—deep-knee bends, different kinds of
exercises But the best exercises are running and riding
a horse.
“Legs are so important in a race because you aren't
sitting in the saddle, you're sort of leaning forward in
a half-squat and all your weight is on the legs. They’re
straining in the irons to push the horse. I remember my
first 15 or so races, all I could think about practically was
how tired they were.
"It's never happened to me, but some jocks I’ve heard
tell about have jumped off a horse after a race and col-
lapsed Their legs buckled ”
She quickly says she is unconcerned whether her legs
look good in a dress, as long as they hold her up well in
a race “I only care to keep them fit for riding," she said.
And yet. "Well, I do like to show off my legs in a dress.
I wear short skirts, eight to 10 inches above my knees
"Actually, it's men who make you leg-conscious of
yourself. And I found out that my legs are perfect. That
sounds narcissistic, but it's a fact. I mean, a few years
ago I saw a chart that had what perfect measurements
should be for your thigh, calf, ankle and so forth, for
your particular height I measured up exactly to those
standards."
JOCKEY ROBYN SMITH,
shown in and out of her
riding togs, says her legs
are her most important
asset. Who's to argue?
Though Miss Smith says she never looks at another
lady’s legs, she does scrutinize those of a horse.
“I look at the over all shape," she said. “I like a good
tight look, a nice straight cannon bone, a long pastern.
You can tell a lot about his stride from his pastern. And
1 like a large knee on a horse.
‘But that’s the one thing I don't like about my legs.
I have big bony knees.”
But some femur and fibula, some talus and tibia has
she.
