Jockey Russell Baze rides 11,000th career winner

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - Russell Baze has ridden the 11,000th winner of his career.

The 52-year-old jockey won the fourth race at the Sonoma County Fair aboard Separate Forest on Saturday to reach the milestone.

Baze was already North America's winningest thoroughbred jockey, having surpassed Laffit Pincay Jr.'s record of 9,530 winners in December 2006.

Baze rode his 10,000th winner in February 2008 at Golden Gate Fields in the San Francisco Bay area, where he has spent most of his career.
