Item description from seller

August 1993 issue of Post Parade signed by American jockey and Belmont Stakes winner, Julie Krone.

Boldly signed by Julie Krone in black felt tip with a smiley face on the front panel. This issue features an article on Krone by Sue Finley titled "Classic Krone." In fine condition. Julie Krone (b. July 24, 1963, in Benton Harbor, Michigan) stands as one of the most accomplished jockeys in the history of American thoroughbred racing and a pivotal figure in the integration of women into elite professional sports. Beginning her riding career in the early 1980s, Krone rapidly distinguished herself in a field that had long resisted female participation, accumulating more than 3,500 victories over the course of her career.

In 2000 she became the first woman inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, and she later added the distinction of being the first female jockey to win a Breeders' Cup race.…
