Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 29, 2023 Journalists Posted October 29, 2023 Jockey Manny Franco earned the 2,000th victory of his career Sunday at Aqueduct when guiding the Chad Brown-trained Spirit of St Louis to a half-length score in the day's second race. “I feel great,” Franco, who also won the day's opener, said. “I had that on me the whole week, so I'm glad to do it early. I'm a little calm now and happy to do it. I just let him do what he wanted to do because I know the pace wasn't fast in front. I just kept my position and he was there for me the whole way.” Franco, 28, has captured two riding titles this year at Aqueduct, taking both the winter and spring meets. He has won six other riding titles at NYRA racetrack meets and was the year-end leading rider on the circuit in 2018-19. Franco is on track for another year-end title with 198 wins on the NYRA circuit heading into Sunday's card, 46 wins ahead of second-place Irad Ortiz, Jr. The post Manny Franco Earns Career Win 2,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
