## Resource

Only 10 jockeys in the entire history of Thoroughbred racing have amassed 7,000 or more victories. One of them is Delaware native and longtime Midlantic riding stalwart Mario Pino. Mario Pino joins us for an exclusive interview on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Pino entered the last week of his riding career needing five wins to become racing's 10th 7,000-race winner. He bagged six to reach 7,001 by the time it was all said and done. Plus, what was it like riding Hard Spun to a near-win in the Derby? And what happened the time Spectacular Bid came to town? It's a great conversation with one of Mid-Atlantic racing's top riders. Plus Delaware Park analyst Stan Salter will stop by for news and handicapping. This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Delaware Park Today, is presented by Delaware Park Racing and Casino.
