Widger wins 2,000th

January 13, 2006 | Print View

Sam Widger nailed down career win number 2,000 in his second drive on opening night of Maywood Park's 60th consecutive year Thursday night, when he guided Kennans Chris to her maiden-breaking victory.



The 42-year-old Monee, Ill. resident hustled Kennans Chris away from the number two post position and the Amanda Smith-trained filly never looked back, winning in 2:00 for owner and breeder Ken Spurlock.



Widger ended 2005 with a career-high 288 wins. Widger also recorded 355 seconds and 321 thirds, and the horses he drove won $2,094,237, which marked the third year in the last six in which he topped the $2 million plateau.



"I want to thank all the owners and trainers that stuck with me through the years," Widger said. "I'm thankful they hung in there and never gave up on me. I'm fortunate to come off my best year in wins and optimistic for 2006, as well."
