The Venezuelan jockey Júnior Alvarado continues to climb positions in the main racetracks in the United States and is three wins away from the 2.000 lifetime photos in the land of Uncle Sam.
The man from Barquisimeto went down to the Gulfstream Park season, like many Latino whips, due to the winter that hits the New York racetracks and last Sunday he beat Tiger in Florida to total 1997 awards and 118,957,060 dollars produced in 16 years of campaign, according to the Eqiibase.com web portal.
Alvarado began his career abroad in 2007, after outstanding performances in Venezuela and is one of the most effective in recent times.
