APPRENTICE JOCKEY MATTIE MARTIN GETS FIRST EVER WIN TODAY
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (Sunday, May 23, 2021)Apprentice jockey Mattie Lillian Martin just recorded her first ever win in the third race today at Lone Star Park. She was aboard the horse Rubber Bandman for trainer Carlos Padilla. With Martin in the irons, Rubber Bandman broke on top and went straight to the front to set the pace. She dug in inside the final furlong to win by a nose under a drive. This was Martin's fifth start of the season for her first win. As a tradition, the other jockeys introduced her to several buckets of ice water on her way back to the locker room. Congratulations Mattie Martin!
