"It feels good," said Teague, whose the son of owner/trainer George Teague, Jr. "I was a little nervous until I started warming the horse up. It feels good to win one here in front of my friends and family and people that gave me support."
It was the fourth win in a row for Mememe.
"He left the gate good and rated her well," said George Teague Jr. "I'm very proud."
