Provisional driver Julie Lucas picked up her first career win Tuesday at Northfield, steering her own Jack Honore to victory in the 14th race, a $3,000 claiming pace. Lucas is the first female driver to win a race at Northfield since Barb Lewis picked up a win on Oct. 2, 2005 in the $20,000 Night of Champions with Stable Creek Barb.



Lucas was out early after getting away third. She challenged first-up with her 10-year-old Die Laughing gelding and ground down Fox Valley Chiaway, drawing off to get the win, although the stretch drive wasn't without incident.



"I got my whip caught," says the 39-year-old Medina resident who was making just her sixth pari-mutuel start. "I went to whack the wheel disc in the lane and it got stuck. This horse has had pace. I wasn't going to get him stuck in. I was going to give him a chance to win."



Jack Honore paid $26.20 to win, and keyed an $11,221.20 superfecta. (Northfield Park)
