Kentucky Downs
Geroux dominates at Kentucky Downs
Barbara D. Livingston Florent Geroux went 12 for 28 riding at Kentucky Downs, but will miss the last day of the meet Saturday to ride at Parx Racing.
Florent Geroux was named to ride Saturday at Parx and therefore missed the last program of the five-day Kentucky Downs meet, but what the 29-year-old Frenchman accomplished at the south-central Kentucky track this month was nothing short of remarkable.
Geroux rode 12 winners from 28 starters for mount earnings of nearly $1.2 million in continuing his steady rise into the elite ranks of North American jockeys. He ties Rafael Bejarano (12 for 35 in 2004) for most wins at a Kentucky Downs meet while easily setting the earnings record.
Geroux ended his meet with a five-win day Wednesday. He also won five on the Sept. 5 opener, including all three stakes.
