Jockey David Flores registered his 3,000th career victory on Sunday at Hollywood Park when he guided Time to Get Even to a win in the $109,700 Lazaro Barrera Memorial Stakes (G3).

The 39-year-old native of Tijuana, Mexico, rated the three-year-old Stephen Got Even colt in fourth and launched his winning bid from four wide on the turn. Time to Get Even split foes in the stretch and rallied gamely to edge runner-up Principle Secret by a neck in the closing strides to secure the milestone victory for Flores.

The victory also marked Flores’s 114th in a graded stakes.

Flores began riding professionally in North American 1984 and had amassed $117,419,401 in purse earnings from 20,695 mounts through Saturday

Flores has won three Breeders’ Cup races during his career, most recently guiding Singletary to a win in the 2004 NetJets Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) at Lone Star Park. Flores also rode Action This Day to a victory in the ‘03 Bessemer Trust Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) and Tempera to a win in the ’01 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).

Other career highlights for Flores include a win aboard Sulamani (Ire) in the ‘03 Arlington Million Stakes (G1) and victories aboard Siphon (Brz) in the ’96 Hollywood Gold Cup (G1) and ’97 Santa Anita Handicap (G1). Flores earned his first career Grade 1 win when he rode Marquetry to a win in the ’91 Hollywood Gold Cup.
