Jockey Ramon Dominguez won the first two races at Aqueduct on Friday to reach the 4,000-win plateau for his career.

Dominguez captured the first race with 2-to-1 second betting choice Persian Honey (Brz) and then reached the milestone with a victory aboard Fortyninegeorgest. in the second race.

Entering Friday’s card, Dominguez led all North American jockeys by victories with 90 and ranked second by purse earnings with $2,599,457.

Originally from Caracas, Venezuela, the 33-year-old Dominguez has emerged as one of North America’s elite riders.

Dominguez established his reputation as a winning rider at Delaware Park with four straight riding titles from 2003-‘07. In 2009, he permanently shifted his tack to New York and immediately made an impact, winning the spring/summer Belmont Park meeting, the Saratoga Race Course meeting, and the Aqueduct meeting to sweep all of the New York Racing Association’s meets.

He has won 88 graded stakes, including the 2009 Arlington Million Stakes (G1), Man o’ War Stakes (G1), and Frank E. Kilroe Mile Handicap (G1) aboard dual champion Gio Ponti. He also captured the 2004 John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) with Better Talk Now for Fair Hill, Maryland-based trainer Graham Motion and the ’04 Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) with Tapit for another Fair Hill trainer, Michael Dickinson.

Dominguez maintains his residence in Elkton, Maryland, close to both Delaware Park and the Fair Hill Training Center.
