Jockey Charle Oliveros, a perennial top rider at Mountaineer in New Cumberland, WV, achieved the 1,000th victory of his career on Wednesday evening when Wild Wine won the card opener by a length.
The Venezuelan-born Oliveros has been among the top 100 riders in the United States by wins each year since 2017, finishing among the top three riders at Mountaineer from 2018-2020 and capturing the leading jockey title in 2021. Last year Oliveros finished second in the standings, and this year he is currently ranked third.
Oliveros began riding in 2011, but did not achieve his first victory until 2013. He first passed the 100-win mark for a year in 2017, riding at Mountaineer and Mahoning Valley in Ohio, and has maintained that momentum (excluding 2020, in which he won 97 races during a season truncated by the pandemic) each year since.
The rider's career win rate stands at 14 percent, with 1,000 winners from 7,001 starters and career earnings of $11,858,359.
