Jockey Perry Ouzts wins 5,000th race

Jockey Perry Ouzts earned his 5,000th career victory Tuesday when he rode Kandinsky to a wire-to-wire win in the first race at River Downs. Ouzts, 53, accepted a trophy that commemorated his accomplishment and posed for the traditional jockey photo. Then he went on to win two more races. He is River Downs’ career leading rider, once winning five of six mounts on a single card.
