Lisa Watson gets first training win

Congratulations go out to Lisa Watson, who gained her first training win with Serious Kid, driven by her husband, Wallace Watson, on Nov. 12.

The Watsons are longtime horsemen at Plainridge and a few years ago they were cited by Gary Piontkowski for making the long trip regularly from their home in Maine to race at Plainridge.
