1st Win (82nd career) at Greenwood
Imperial Measure
My first winner that I rode at Greenwood racetrack right downtown Toronto, was after the summer meet at Woodbine racetrack on November 19th, 1993. The horses name was Imperial Measure trained by the Jim Day and owned by the famous Samson Farm. This win was also my very first winner as a 'journeyman' (seasoned rider).
Also shown below is my 2nd and last winner ridden at Greenwood. The reason it was my last winner was because Greenwood racetrack was demolished after that year for town houses to be built in place of the track.

This 2nd winner was on a bitterly cold night under the lights, hence the face mask, ear muffs and gloves that tried in vain to keep myself warm.
