Emma-Jayne Wilson (born September 1, 1981) is a Sovereign and Eclipse Award-winning jockey in Thoroughbred horse racing. She began taking riding lessons at age nine, and after finishing high school in Brampton, she studied equine management at Kemptville College, part of the University of Guelph. In 2007 aboard Mike Fox, Wilson became the first woman to win Canada's oldest and most important race, the Queen's Plate. On September 16, 2012, she joined pioneering jockey Francine Villeneuve to become only the second Canadian woman to achieve the 1,000 career victories plateau, as she rode "D'wildcat Gold" to victory in the first race at Woodbine.〔http://ontariothoroughbred.com/woodbine/2012/09/16/wilson-completes-her-chase-for-1000〕 Three days later by taking the fifth and sixth races at Woodbine, Emma-Jayne moved ahead of Villeneuve as Canada's all-time winningest female jockey, a distinction that Villeneuve had held for over 10 years. Wilson also ranks first in career earnings among Canadian women, as she has earned well over $60,000,000 in purses for her mounts.〔http://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=People&searchType=J&eID=112072〕 In 2015, she won the Shergar Cup alongside teammates Sammy Jo Bell and Hayley Turner, marking the first victory for an all-female side in this event.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=BBC )〕 ==Year-end charts== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emma-Jayne Wilson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
