Chantal Sutherland, now riding at Gulfstream Park, won aboard Mona Stella on Sunday
A rising star in Panama, jockey Jose Morelos notched his first victory in the United States Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The 20-year-old jockey, who had ridden 503 winners in Panama after launching his career at the age of 16, guided Wild Cat West ($12.40) to victory in Race 5, a mile maiden race for $12,500 claimers.
“I m very grateful to the trainer for giving me the opportunity,” Morelos said through an interpreter. “I m looking forward to a lot of better things to come in the future.”
