Ramon Dominguez Named TT TODAY Jockey of the Week

Feb 2nd, 12
Ramon Dominguez, winner of the 2010 and 2011 Eclipse Awards as outstanding jockey, led all North American riders by earnings for the week ended January 31.

Dominguez currently leads all jockeys by purse earnings for the year with $1,684,181 through Tuesday and ranks second by wins, behind only Victor Lebron.

The 35-year-old’s biggest win of the seven-day period was in the Florida Sunshine Millions Classic Stakes on Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where he guided classic-placed Grade 2 winner Mucho Macho Man to an easy 1½-length win.

The Sunshine Millions Classic was the fifth stakes win of the month for the Venezuela native.

Dominguez entered the 2012 campaign off a stellar season that resulted in a second straight Eclipse Award. In 2011, he led the nation in earnings and was second in victories. He was the regular rider of Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, champion two-year-old male Hansen, and Grade 1 winner Stacelita (Fr).

Dominguez also won the second Breeders’ Cup race of his career last year, taking the Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) aboard Hansen. His first win came in 2004 on Better Talk Now in the John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1)
