Dylan Davis and Chad Brown have claimed individual meet titles for jockey and trainer, respectively, for the 2024 Belmont Big A fall meet while Klaravich Stables continued their domination of the owners' ranks, NYRA announced via release Sunday evening.
Leading all jockeys with 44 wins, it is Davis's third individual title on the NYRA circuit with a winter meet title at Aqueduct earlier this year and in 2022 under his belt. He has 177 NYRA-circuit wins in 2024 heading into Aqueduct's fall meet spanning Thursday, Nov.7 to Sunday, Dec. 29.
“[Michael Migliore] is an incredible agent and he works hard at what he does, and we work together very well,” Davis said. “I also have to thank all the horses for running their 'A' game efforts every time as well as all the owners and trainers that give me these opportunities. I'm really happy to have won another title–it's a privilege and an honor and a validation of all the hard work of previous years in getting to this point today.”
Kendrick Carmouche came in second with 34 wins and Manny Franco finished third with 27.
Four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown won his 33rd training title at a NYRA meet, his 13th consecutive Belmont fall title, as he led all trainers with 31 wins. Linda Rice finished second with 18 while Christophe Clement and Brad Cox tied for third with 13 wins.
Seth Klarman's Klaravich Stables secured 11 wins to claim their 29th owners' title, with Michael Dubb finishing second with eight, and Sanford J. Goldfarb's seven wins bringing him home in third.
