But I do think Nina is an outstanding rider, imagine if she'd gone the pro route and was riding and improving every day, I think she'd be a match for the very best now. In fact i'm certain of that.

To me, though, Nina qualifies as outstanding. Easily the best female, under either code, that we've seen in Britain or Ireland imo.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30668111/victoria-pendleton?post_id=548136711#548136711Fair points.

If Victoria Pendleton was competing against men in her previous sport, she probably wouldn't even qualify as 'good,' much less 'outstanding.'https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30668111/victoria-pendleton?post_id=548136417#548136417Nina may be good but not outstanding in her sport.Agree with most of what you say but not this.
