De Spirito Wins Four Races at Tropical Park Pushes Record Pace
Apprentice jockey Tony DeSpirito drove four winners in seven races at Tropical Park in Tami, Florida, raising his year total to 385 with two days left.

DeSpirito said he could threaten the world riding record if he can secure more mounts, with six rides planned for Tuesday.
