Ramon Dominguez’s victory in race 4 at Aqueduct Racetrack Thursday afternoon, his seventh straight in races in which he rode, set a record for consecutive wins by a jockey on The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) circuit.

In a streak that stretched over two days, Dominguez, the reigning Eclipse Award winner as the nation’s top jockey, went 4-for-4 on Wednesday in races 5-8, and went 3-for-3 on Thursday in races 1, 2 and 4. Dominguez, the leading jockey on the NYRA circuit, also won race 6 on Thursday for his second straight four-win day before finishing off the board in races 7 and 8.

The 35-year-old Venezuelan-born reinsman had ridden six consecutive winners on February 7 and 8, 2009, sharing the previous NYRA record with Stewart Elliott (January 11-13, 2008), Jerry Bailey (September 17-22, 2005), Jeff Fell (June 18-19, 1980), Steve Cauthen (December 10-11, 1976), and Jorge Velasquez (July 9, 1981), who is the only jockey to have gone 6-for-6 on a single day at a NYRA racetrack.

It was the seventh time in 2011 Dominguez had ridden four winners on a single card; he had two five-win days, on January 8 and November 24, his birthday, and on June 5 at Belmont Park became the first jockey to win six races on a single NYRA card since Shaun Bridgmohan did so at the Big A on February 15, 1998.

At the close of racing on Thursday, Dominguez led all jockeys on the NYRA circuit with 313 victories and has clinched his third straight NYRA riding title.
