Jockey Rocco Bowen Gets Win 1,000 at Indiana Grand

Barbados native Rocco Bowen reached the 1,000th win of his riding career Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino. He had stalled, going zero for 23, since getting his 999th win Nov. 4. It was a pick-up mount for trainer Tim Glyshaw in Wednesday’s ninth race that netted the milestone win. Dox Folly (Paddy O’Prado) won the Indiana-bred starter allowance by 5 1/2 lengths.

“I even changed my boots today,” said Bowen. “This sign is going straight to my mom. Thank you to everyone. It’s been such a pleasure to be here and everyone has been so welcoming. I want to thank all the agents throughout my career and all the people that have been in my corner. This is for everyone that has been supportive.”

Bowen had been sidelined by an injury sustained while riding from September, 2018, to this spring. This is his first year riding in Indiana and he ranks among the top 10 jockeys there. He has accumulated more than $11 million in purses throughout his career since 2007.

Eric Halstrom, Indiana Grand’s vice president and general manager of racing, made the winner’s circle presentation.

Kameko To Stand For £25,000

Kameko (Kitten’s Joy-Sweeter Still {Ire}, by Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), who won this year’s G1 2000 Guineas in race record time, will stand for £25,000 at Tweenhills Stud next year.

In addition to the Guineas, Kameko won the G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy at two and the G2 Joel S. on Sept. 25 against elders. He was fourth this summer in the G1 Epsom Derby, G1 Sussex S. and G1 Juddmonte International.

“It was hugely exciting to have Kameko arrive at Tweenhills last night and after a gruelling 40-hour journey from Kentucky; he bounced off the lorry and has been striding around the place this morning like he owns it,” said Tweenhills owner David Redvers. “I feel we have priced him extremely competitively this year and will also be offering a small amount of equity in the horse to breeders. Details are to be released later this week.”

Also available at Tweenhills in 2021 for £25,000 will be Australian sensation Zoustar (Aus), whose first Northern Hemisphere foals arrived this year.

“Zoustar continues to enhance his already heady reputation and it is a real coup for European breeders to have such an exceptional young sire standing here again in 2021,” said Redvers. “The reviews his first crop of Northern Hemisphere foals are receiving match our expectations and I’m really looking forward to seeing his first commercial offerings at the end of the month.”

Havana Gold (GB), whose biggest crop of over 140 yearlings goes into training next year, is available for £7,500, while G1 Sussex S. winner Lightning Spear (GB) will stand for £5,000.
