six wins | Horse Racing Free Tips

Six-time Churchill Downs leading rider Tyler Gaffalione added his name to the record books Friday when he notched six wins beneath the historic Twin Spires.

It was the 12th time a jockey has won six races on a single card at Churchill Downs but the first since Corey Lanerie in 2012. This was also the first time since 1907 that a rider has won with all six of their mounts, equaling Jimmie Lee.

Gaffalione won the first three races on the card aboard Not That Serious ($8.80), Jazzy Lady ($4.40) and Cousteau ($4.80). The 27-year-old jockey did not have a mount in Race 4 but won with his next three mounts Megan's Clara ($4.60), Candy Tycoon ($10.80) and Sarah Harper ($3). Gaffalione was originally scheduled to ride in Races 8 and 9 but his mounts were scratched.

“I was joking with the guys in the room that I wanted to ride one more and get the record,” Gaffalione said. “It was a really good day at the track.”

Jockeys Julien Leparoux (2008) and Pat Day (1984) are the only two riders to record seven wins on a single card at Churchill Downs.

Prior to Lanerie's six wins on May 27, 2012, the other times the feat occurred were by Jamie Theriot (2008), Julien Leparoux (2007), Calvin Borel (2007), Day (1999, 1992, 1991, 1984), Randy Romero (1985), Steve Brooks (1948) and Lee (1907).

Gaffalione won seven races at Gulfstream Park on July 4, 2017.

The hot-handed Justin Stein was a force to be reckoned with on Friday at Woodbine Racetrack, winning six races during the afternoon program.

Stein, who had eight mounts on the nine-race card, started his winning crusade in the second race by reeling off four consecutive victories in rein to San Nicola Brew ($14.60) for trainer Sarah Ritchie, Bala Falls ($6.30) for Elizabeth Elder, Interesting Times ($10.50) for Tim Rycroft and Make No Mistake ($5.90) for Zeljko Krcmar.

The multiple graded stakes-winning jockey later went back-to-back winning the seventh and eighth races to cap off his six-win performance aboard the Sylvain Pion-trained Power House ($11.10) and Sam Di Pasquale's Piccadilly Beau ($6.90).

Stein is the first jockey to record six wins on a single card at the 2020 Woodbine meet. Recently, Eurico Rosa Da Silva accomplished the feat three times in 2019. Prior to that, Luis Contreras won six races on two occasions (2011 and 2013).

Stein, who returned to action in 2019 after a short-lived retirement, won 52 races ranking seventh in the Woodbine jockey standing last year and is currently the second-leading jockey with 56 wins so far at the 2020 Woodbine meet.

The 40-year-old reinsman, whose career highlights include a victory in the 2012 Queen's Plate in rein to Strait of Dover, has won more than 1,100 races lifetime.

Live Thoroughbred racing continues at Woodbine on Saturday, featuring the $100,000 Eternal Search Stakes. First race post time is set for 1 p.m.
