Gaffalione, Cox Lock Up Churchill Fall Meet Titles

Jockey Tyler Gaffalione and trainer Brad Cox entered the final day of racing Sunday at Churchill Downs having already locked up their respective titles for the 14-day September Meet.

Both successfully defended their titles from a year ago and set new September Meet records for wins: Gaffalione with 25 victories through 13 days and Cox with 15.

Gaffalione more than doubled second-place Cristian Torres's 12 wins prior to Sunday's 10-race card. This will be Gaffalione's 10th riding title at Churchill Downs since 2018 and fourth-straight September Meet title.

Cox's dominant meet led him to his seventh Churchill Downs training title. He entered the final day of racing with a 15-6 win lead over second-place Kenny McPeek.

Owners Rigney Racing and Gary and Mary West tied for the leading owner title with four wins apiece.
