Jockey Russell Baze Nearing 10,000 Victory Mark
Russell Baze rode 2 winners on Monday at Golden Gate Fields, leaving him 3 victories short of becoming the first thoroughbred jockey to win 10,000 horse races.
Russell Baze won the first race aboard Cassiar and the third aboard Troy Fan, giving him 9,997 victories. He was winless with four other mounts at the Bay Area track.

Russell Baze will resume his latest pursuit when the track reopens Thursday.
