[1] Licensed to ride at Thistledown in North Randall, Ohio, when she was 17 years old, White began her career riding for her father, trainer Raymond White, in June 1971.

[7] As a Thoroughbred rider, White became the first woman to win two races on the same day in two states in 1971 when she rode a winner at Thistledown and then at Waterford.

[8] She was also the first female jockey to win five races in one day, accomplishing that feat on October 19, 1983, at Fresno Fair.

She returned to the saddle for appearances in the Lady Legends for the Cure event held by Pimlico Race Course from 2010 to 2014.
