Baze's milestone win, the 9,531st of his career, came in the fourth race aboard Butterfly Belle, leading to a prolonged cheer from the crowd as the 48-year-old doffed his riding helmet.

The 59-year-old Pincay was on hand for the occasion, the fifth straight day he's been at the track waiting for his record to fall. Baze won...
