Jockey Vince Guerra Records his 3000th Career Victory in Arizona

The Home Run Record in Baseball is a milestone that will be broken this year, and has already received plenty press. Horse racing fans have already witnessed history this year and are ecstatic. When one of the really good guys in the sport reaches a milestone, there is reason for celebration. That guy I'm referring to is Arizona native, Jockey Vince Guerra.

Vince recorded his 3000th career victory this past week at Yavapai Downs, and as the saying goes, "it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy". Our heartfelt congratulations goes out to Vince. I love baseball, but Barry Bonds cannot hold a candle to the integrity that Vince brings to horse racing. Boomer and Diamond Eagle Handicapping, DEH, tip their hats to Vince!

Vince will not be at Belmont on Saturday, but a darling filly will be there mixing it up with the boys. The last time a filly won the Belmont Stakes was way back in 1908. This year, Rags to Riches, the filly, goes for her 4th straight Grade 1 victory and 5th overall, and certainly figures to get plenty of attention at the mutuel windows across the country.

With Street Sense not in the field, the early favorite Curlin may not win by a nose this time. This may be a girl-guy thing and I am picking the darling in the 1 1/2 Mile showdown. The Big Apple, Street Sense, will be watching, as the Girl takes the prize.
