Scott Spieth became the 35th jockey to reach 5,000 winners in North America earlier this week, achieving the milestone in the first week of the meeting at Presque Isle Downs.
Spieth, 57, piloted the Florida-bred filly Wheelingndealing to a one-length victory in an allowance race May 27 at Presque Isle. The filly is trained by his wife, Aldana Spieth. According to Equibase statistics, that gave Spieth 5,000 victories from 31,877 career Thoroughbred mounts, for earnings of more than $67.1 million.
