Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 5 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 5 hours ago Horseshoe Indianapolis, which wrapped its 124-day 2024 season Thursday, has a new leading rider in Alberto Burgos, who won his first career leading jockey title. The Puerto Rico native locked up the title with 81 wins and earnings of more than $2.1 million. Burgos has been riding since 2019 and is in only his second year at Horseshoe Indianapolis. “It's unbelievable,” said Burgos about his first title. “It makes me so happy. There were doubters in the beginning, so I'm glad I stuck with it to get where I am today. This is something I've worked hard for this and it means so much to win this title.” Kerry “Bones” Wirth works as his agent. Overall, the 25-year-old Burgos has 243 career wins and more than $6.6 million in career earnings. He plans to ride at Turfway Park over the winter and return to Indianapolis for the 2025 season, which kicks off Tuesday, Apr. 15.
