Margaret Lindsley Warden, equine reporter for the Tennesseean
for 55 years, remembers what it was like for a woman reporter:
"Yes, I remember the first Iroquois. The grounds were not ready at all, but they had it anyway. I don't think I ever reported that. You see, I went, but I don't think I ever reported it. You see, when the men and the boys on the sports staff--they didn't know what a horse show was. They did know what a race was. So when there was a race involved, they were going to cover that. I wasn't even asked to cover it. No, they weren't going to have my name signed to something that they thought they knew something about."
