Dunkelberger Ties Record for Consecutive Wins
Dunkelberger Ties Record for Consecutive Wins
(Charles Town, WV) – With his win aboard Citigambler in today’s 3rd race at Charles Town, jockey Travis Dunkelberger equaled the North American record for consecutive wins by a jockey with 9. The record was established by Albert Adams in 1930 and equaled in 1993 by Anthony Black. Dunkelberger has reeled off the nine consecutive wins at both Charles Town and Laurel, since his mount, Quite Sassy, finished last in the 5th race at Laurel on November 11th. Dunkelberger attempted to break the record today aboard Warm Springs Girl in Race 7 at Charles Town but finished 2nd to end the skien.

Maybe for Marty's sake we can get Travis to give Ramon a few pointers.

Quote:
He and his agent are more concerned with riding horses with real chances to win (as evidenced by the very low odds of all the horses he won on) and having a higher win percentage. He splits time between Laurel and Charles Town and as his one-time personal chauffeur I'll say that it's not a particularly fun drive to make if all you're hoping for is the mount fee.

Go bet a race with Dunkelberger on it at CT. He's virtually always on the favorite, so yeah, he's pretty darn selective with the horses he rides.

He did well in NY earlier in his career and then had some problems. . . he has kids and family now in WVA, so I doubt he's going anywhere and I'm not sure he's too ambitious at this point.
