Ricardo vs. Baze

When jockey Russell Baze became the winningest rider of all time last December, Brazilian superstar rider Jorge Ricardo was only 27 victories behind. Four weeks later, he surpassed Baze, and the two riders have been in a “ding-dong battle” since to reach 10,000 wins first (Racing Post).
