LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Corey Lanerie rode six winners at Churchill Downs on Sunday, a career high for the veteran jockey.
He won with six of seven mounts, including the $45,168 feature race by 4 1/4 lengths aboard Professor Fate.
The last jockey to ride six winners on a card at the historic track was Jamie Theriot on June 18, 2008. Pat Day won six in a day on four occasions. He and Julien Leparoux hold the track record for wins in a day with seven.
Lanerie, a 37-year-old from Lafayette, La., has been riding for 22 years. He leads the jockeys’ standings at the spring meet with 23 winners.
