Donna Hillman, 27, says she is quitting her career as a thoroughbred jockey in Hallandale Florida. She claims women riders face pressure to engage in sexual favors to secure mounts and plans to return to California to train breed horses and write a book exposing tracks as a "hooker's paradise." Eliza Chase, 26, supports the view, stating mistreatment exists from day one on the track.
