1st Win (39th Career) at Fort Erie Racetrack - Wicked Girl
May 2nd, 1993

My first 3 rides at Fort Erie racetrack were almost perfect! Unfortunately in my very first race I got disqualified from 1st place to 3rd place behind the horse who I crossed in the stretch!!! It was a rookie mistake as I hit the horse right handed and the horse drifted in towards the left and impeded the motion of this other horse and spoilt my day!:-( Plus 3 other days in which I was suspended from racing due to my error and the rules of racing!!!

My day was brightened in the next two rides as I won them both!! Shown below are the two wins that I did manage to keep - Wicked Girl and Droll N' Boll both for trainer Mike Wright Snr. and for tow of my friends from Barbados who also worked for Mike.
