Argentine-based jockey surpasses Baze’s all-time win mark

Posted: Monday, February 05, 2007 4:41 PM

Argentine-based jockey Jorge Ricardo rode his 9,591st career winner on Monday at Hipodromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires, surpassing Northern California-based and Racing Hall of Fame jockey Russell Baze`s 9,590 victories to rank first as the world’s all-time winningest jockey and leading active jockey by victories.

Ricardo guided Stud San Jose de Ecuardor’s six-year-old gray mare Minimal to a half-length victory in the tenth race to pull ahead of Baze’s mark on the all-time win list.

Ricardo’s record-breaking victory came on his ninth mount on Monday’s 13-race program at Palermo. He finished in the money with his first five mounts and seven overall through the first ten races on the card, including five-runner up efforts and a narrow nose defeat in the eighth race.

On Sunday, Ricardo had tied Baze on the all-time win list, when he guided Good Point to a clear three-length victory in the seventh race at Hipodromo La Plata.

In December, Ricardo surpassed Pincay’s mark to rank second behind former leader Russell Baze, who became racing’s all-time winning rider when breaking Pincay`s record at Bay Meadows Race Course on December 1 and the world’s leading active jockey when supplanting Ricardo in mid-September.

Baze was sidelined last week after being unseated during a four-horse spill at Golden Gate Fields on January 28.
