At the point when Iretta Bell was 16 years of age in 1959, she settled spontaneously that she would run that year's Pack Burro Race in Leadville. After a victorious success, Bell, who visited Leadville without precedent for some years this late spring, joined a tireless heredity of early ladies racers who ruled the acclaimed contest all through the 1950s. 

Chime, whose last name was Jackson at that point, experienced childhood in Denver, yet went to the high nation regularly to ski. Her sister, who was hitched to Heiku Kuhn, a Lake County School District sports mentor, had run the burro race in 1958 and persuaded Bell that she would presumably progress admirably, given her initial life as a competitor. 

After a major breakfast at the Golden Burro Cafe, Bell's supporter for the race, the 16-year-old agreed with her burro, Wooly Bear, who was brought up in Leadville by a family companion, Jim McPherson. In the week preceding the 1959 race, Bell remained with McPherson to prepare and bond with Wooly Bear. 

"I wasn't actually in it to win," Bell told the Herald this mid year. "I simply needed to run." 

Despite the fact that ladies had been running the burro race since 1951, there was definitely not an authority ladies' division until 1955. Indeed, even after four years, when Bell entered the race, just a modest bunch of ladies encompassed her, including Stella Smith, a farmer from Rosita and four-time victor of the race. Not really settled to remain nearby Smith and her burro Jackie all through the race. 

Ringer and Smith immediately pulled in front of different ladies. For a significant distance, Bell and Wooly Bear followed Smith. Then, at that point, it began pouring, splashing Bell and Wolly Bear deep down. At a certain point, Bell shook out her downpour coat and frightened Wooly Bear into running off trail toward an open field. Subsequent to persuading Wooly Bear, the pair got back on course and passed Smith. Ringer ran next to her burro for the remainder of the race, turning her rope in speedy circles to keep Wooly Bear moving. 

At the point when Bell crossed the end goal first for ladies with a period of 5:23:49, as indicated by the Aug. 3 1959 Carbonate Chronicle, she was depleted, winded and her stomach hurt. A columnist drew nearer to ask Bell an inquiry, and before she could react, a flood of queasiness came over her, leaving that morning's enormous breakfast on the correspondent's jeans and shoes. After seven minutes, Smith and burro Jackie completed second. 

"Wooly Bear was a decent burro and we ran hard that day," said Bell. "I knew before the race Stella would be an intense contender. It was truly something to have the option to run with her." 

Prior to entering the 1959 burro race, Bell had heard numerous accounts of ladies sprinters before her, generally from her sister, including one lady who had stuck beard growth to her face to run before ladies were permitted. In P. David Smith and Lyn Bezek's book "On The Backs of Burros," the writers maintain this story. As indicated by their book, just sprinters with stubbles could enter the race in the mid 1950s. To get around the prerequisite, Edna Miller, an Alma local, made a facial hair growth out of her burro's tail and secured it to her face for the 1951 race. 

Mill operator, who turned into the primary lady to run the burro race in 1951, albeit under pseudonym, as per "On The Backs of Burros," proceeded to run in 1952, when she was again the main lady. After the facial hair move in 1953, Miller ran in 1954 alongside three ladies, Beverly Weeks, Eve Perkins and Jackie Smith, as per the Carbonate Chronicle. In 1955, the primary year that ladies ran in their own race, Miller, a 52-year-old grandma, completed third. 

The 1955 race was additionally Stella Smith's first burro race, which she won. Of the 40 contestants that year, 10 were ladies, as indicated by "Wild Burro Tales: Thirty Years of Haulin' Ass" by Hal Walter. Smith prepared with her significant other Walter, who had a few successes all through the 1950s for the men's division. Smith proceeded to require second in 1956, completing ten minutes behind Helen Glavinick, a 23-year-old Leadville local. Smith then, at that point, won in 1957 and 1958, yet while the men kept on winning $700 for the lead position, Smith's honor dropped from $700 in 1955 to $300 in 1957 and 1958. 

Smith's series of wins finished in 1959 when Bell entered the race, however the now-resigned English educator who lives in Denver said she invests wholeheartedly in having her name among other ladies' on the burro race champ's plaque in Fairplay. Albeit 1959 was Bell's just race, she said she recollects that day like it wasn't some time in the past. 

"It was a particularly extraordinary involvement in the burros all over and the most considerate individuals," said Bell. "I'll always remember it."
