Car Lady accelerated through an opening along the rail and sped off with a last-to-first victory in Saturday’s opener at Laurel Park, giving jockey Alexander Chavez his first win in the United States.

Chavez, 22, had been riding at Presidente Remon racetrack in his native Panama before coming to the U.S. Car Lady, a 4-year-old daughter of Grade 1 winner Colonel John, was his first mount.

“It was a dream to be able to ride in the United States, and today the dream came true,” Chavez said through an interpreter. “It feels very good. I am very happy.”
