TENECA WOLFE-BELL guided Bana Tsegai’s MAJESTIC MELODY to a perfect front-running victory in the last race at Woodbine on Oct. 16 to notch her first win at Woodbine. Wolfe-Bell allowed the Julie Belhumeur-trained gelding to stride out smoothly early in the 1 mile inner turf race and then gave him his cue turning for home. The pair won by 1 3/4 lengths.
Not only was Wolfe-bell winning her first race at Woodbine – she had 7 previous wins at Fort Erie and began her riding career at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver – but she is believed to be the only black woman to ride a winner at Canada’s famous track.
