Jockey Juan Hernandez reached a notable milestone on Sunday when earning career win No. 3,000 at Santa Anita Park.Hernandez accomplished the feat in Sunday's ninth and final race when guiding Syntax ($8.80) to victory in a starter allowance going one mile on turf. Hernandez and the Librado Barocio-trained filly won by a half-length.“I was thinking about if before the race, that it would be nice to do it here,” Hernandez said. “Then I just rode my race. After the wire when I heard Frank Mirahmadi say that is win No. 3,000, I thought 'wow, I made it.'”The 34-year-old from Veracruz, Mexico was joined in the winner's circle by his wife Melissa and their two sons, Juan and Emilio.Hernandez rode his first winner in 2009 in Puerto Rico before relocating to Northern California. He later moved to the southern part of the state full-time in 2020. He has since won nine riding titles at Santa Anita. At the current Hollywood Meet, Hernandez is winning at a robust 29% clip (17 for 58) through Sunday.Hernandez has been represented by agent Craig O'Bryan since he moved to Southern California full-time.“Juan has been just an absolute pleasure to work with,” said O'Bryan, who has represented many top jockeys during his long career. “I'm really proud of him, he deserves it.”In his career, Hernandez has won 21 Grade I races and tallied total purse earnings of $111,501,184.“I just love riding horses,” Hernandez said. “Let's keep winning races.”The post Juan Hernandez Gets 3,000th Career Win at Santa Anita appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
