Jockey Perry Ouzts celebrating a five-win day at Belterra Park in 2020
Like much of what he s done throughout a riding career that began in 1973, the occasion of jockey Perry Wayne Ouzts 52,000th mount on July 20 got scant attention. It was just another day in the office for the 67-year-old, who recorded three wins that same afternoon at Belterra Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ouzts now sits at 7,200 career victories, sixth on the all-time list and first among active riders.
No one has followed Ouzts career closer than John Engelhardt, a writer, photographer, host of the Winning Ponies podcast and former publicist at River Downs, the Cincinnati track where Arkansas native Ouzts rode for so many years. (Belterra racetrack and casino was built where the old River Downs was located.)
