At 0h02, on January 23, 2023 By GULFSTREAM

Jockey Junior Alvarado rode Broadway Force ($7.80) to victory in Saturday’s Race 5 at Gulfstream Park to reach the 2000-win career milestone.

“It hasn’t come easy for me – I’ve had a lot of injuries – but that’s what makes every win worth it,” Alvarado said following a winner’s circle celebration for his career riding feat. “A Grade 1 or a claiming race, I’m grateful for each win. I don’t take anything for granted.”

Alvarado’s achievement followed Tyler Gaffalione’s 2000th career victory on Friday afternoon at Gulfstream.
