Not just a man's game! Three female jockeys had their best seasons at Canterbury this summer. Led by Lori Keith with 32 wins. Lori, a fan favorite, is now currently riding at Turf Paradise. Anne Von Rosen had 19 wins and is also riding at Turf Paradise. Brittany Arterburn, now Brittany Rhone, came up from Tampa with father and trainer Lonnie Arterburn and took the CBY turf course by storm. Brittany also finished with 19 wins and will be riding at Tampa Bay Downs during the winter. . You can look forward to all 3 of these rising female stars next year at Canterbury!
