Jockey Gustavo Larrosa posted his 1,000th career win Saturday night when Charlene Jarvis' Master This scored in the fifth race at Charles Town.
Larrosa had the West Virginia-bred Dominus gelding ideally positioned in fourth early in the seven-furlong race for $5,000 claimers. The 6-year-old rounded the far turn off the rail before willingly dueling the front-runner past the eighth pole. He surged clear late to post a two-length triumph on the muddy (sealed) track, providing his rider the milestone triumph.
Master This covered the distance in 1:27.87 and returned $17.20.
Larrosa's 11,584 career mounts also account for 1,096 seconds and 1,237 thirds and more than $19.3 million in purse earnings.
A native of Uruguay, Larrosa has ridden at Charles Town since 2003 when he came to the United States. Prior to that he rode in his native country and in Argentina.
Larrosa has also bred and owned Thoroughbreds.
