On August 6, 1970, Roman Stein of Glasgow made history by becoming the first certified female jockey in Montana. This achievement was a significant milestone in the state's sports history, breaking gender barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field.

Stein's accomplishment paved the way for other women to pursue careers in horse racing in Montana and beyond. Her determination and skill challenged existing norms and demonstrated that women could compete at the highest levels of the sport.

This event reflected the broader social changes of the era, as women increasingly sought equal opportunities in various professions. Stein's pioneering spirit and success as a jockey left a lasting impact on Montana's equestrian community and served as an inspiration for future generations of female athletes.
