Jockey Alice Beckman celebrates her first career victory with the members of the Turfway Park jockey colony on March 25
In her first race as a licensed jockey on March 20 at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky., Alice Beckman finished second by a half-length. Back in the irons five days later, the end result saw the exact same margin between the first and second-place finishers: a half-length. This time, however, Beckman came out on the winning side of the wire.
“Going into it I thought the horse had a chance, so I tried to mentally prepare myself,” Beckman explained. “But you just can t prepare yourself for that feeling. It was so fun, and I don t have the right words to describe it, really.”
