Rider Scores First Win

September 14...Fort Erie native Brian Cheyne wasted
no time in finding his way to the winners circle. Riding in
only his fourth race, Cheyne guided Bubba Luke to victory in
Monday’s fourth race at Fort Erie Race Track.
Jockey
Brian Cheyne celebrates first career win.
Cheyne, who was
born and raised in Fort Erie, rode two races on Sunday’s
card finishing 5th on Brother Griem in the first race and
4th on Skip the Night in the eighth. This afternoon Cheyne
was aboard Galloping River who finished 6th in the third
race before notching his first career win in the fourth.
Bubba Luke, who
is trained by William Lane for owner Gustavo Urraburu,
settled in nicely on the backstretch and rallied along
the rail in the stretch to win by a length.
“This is
a spectacular feeling.” said the 20-year-old apprentice. “I
knew I was riding a good horse. I just followed the trainer’s
instructions and we got the win.”
Bubba Luke paid
$13.60, $6.60 and $3.50. Stretchdrive finished second paying
$6.10 and $3.80. Dream Treasure was third and returned
$3.40.
