Jockey Gerardo Corrales recorded his 1,000th win aboard Unraptured at Turfway Park. It was a 6 furlong Claiming Race as Unraptured broke towards the back. At the half, Corrales had Unraptured up to 5th and then took over the lead heading down the outside at the beginning of the stretch run and held on for the 2-length win.
This was our first win at Turfway Park marking the 18th different track where we’ve recorded a win. This was second win in the 1,000 win career of Gerardo Corrales, however he’s developing a trend as being a trailblazer as his first win for us came in our first win at Ellis Park this past August as he guided Brit’s Wit to victory there. This also marks our first win with Trainer Nolan Ramsey.
Gerardo Corrales kicked off his career nearly a decade ago in South Florida. Tonight, he earned his 1,000th career win aboard Unraptured at @TurfwayPark who made the trip from, you guessed it, South Florida.
