Golden Gate Fields Sees Russell Baze's 10,000th Racing Win [KCBS]
Years and years and years ago, I read horse race results at the back of the sports section in the San Jose Mercury News. Didn’t take me long to discover that a bet on whatever horse Russell Baze was riding was a good bet to place.
Congrats to Baze, who won his first race in 1974 in Yakima, WA, on a horse trained by his father, Joe.
