A brass plaque set into the paving stones of Epsom and Ewell, United Kingdom, commemorates jockey Alex Greaves and her horse Portuguese Lil
MomentA brass plaque set into the paving stones of Epsom and Ewell, United Kingdom, commemorates jockey Alex Greaves and her horse Portuguese Lil. The plaque features a profile image of a jockey wearing a cap, and text detailing the achievement: "1996 Jockey: Alex Greaves Horse: Portuguese Lil The first female jockey to ride the Derby." The plaque is circular with decorative stars on either side. The surrounding paving is made of grey rectangular stone slabs with visible grout lines. Two people are partially visible in the frame: one's feet wearing dark brogue shoes and light trousers are in the foreground, and another person's legs and feet are to the right, with grey trousers and a dark shoe. The lighting suggests an outdoor daytime setting.
