McKees First Winner AQUEDUCT, L. I., N. Y., June 23.— Charles McKee, the rider aboard H. L. Har-vells Leguisamo in the eighth race Friday, was scoring his first victory under silks. The 20-year-old Alexandria, Ind., lad has been working for trainer Joe Nash for two and a half years walking hots, mucking out stalls and exercising horses. Leguisamo was McKees fourth official mount. He rode his first two races in Florida and his third at Belmont. Incidentally, Leguisamo is named for the champion Argentine jockey, who did much of his riding for S. J. Unzue, breeder of the horse.
