Hannah Leahey and McKenna Anderson both scored 16 wins during this summer's meet at Horseshoe Indianapolis to share the title for the Juan Saez Leading Apprentice award.
“It's really cool and nice to get rewarded from all the hard work that we both put in throughout the year,” said Anderson. “We have worked with some really hard-working people here and we thank them for giving us this opportunity to ride.”
Leahey added, “It's such an achievement. McKenna and I have been riding together from the beginning. It's a great feeling to share this award with her. We thank all the barns that helped us get here.”
The tie between Leahey and Anderson is the second in the 10-year history of the award and they become the sixth and seventh female jockeys to win the award.
