HALLANDALE BEACH - Paco Lopez moved to within one victory of the 4,000-win career milestone during a one-day stopover Friday at Gulfstream Park, notching Win No. 3,999 aboard Asher’s Edge ($2.60) in Race 3.
The 38-year-old is scheduled to ride this weekend at Keeneland to continue his quest for 4,000.
Lopez had five mounts on Friday’s nine-race program and started his day with a fourth-place finish aboard Cajun Fool in Race 2. After scoring aboard Asher’s Edge in Race 3, he finished fourth on Roscoe Village in Race 5, fifth on Nando in Race 6 and fourth on Forwardly in Race 8.
Lopez, who notched a Breeders’ Cup victory aboard Roy H in the 2018 Sprint at Churchill Downs, has ridden the winners of more than $150 million in purses.
