YONKERS, NY,
Friday, May 11, 2018—Yonkers Raceway Friday night (May 11th)
recognized driver Steve Smith for his latest milestone.
Smith won the
4,000th race of his career last Friday (May 4th) at his
‘day job,’ Freehold Raceway. He then moved toward the next plateau, upsetting
Saturday afternoon’s (May 5th) $66,400 Lady Suffolk for 3-year-old
trotting fillies with 21-1 longshot Special Miss.
The affable
56-year-old Smith, a native of Boston, has been a New York/New Jersey area
standout seemingly forever. He has accumulated seven-figure purse seasons every
year since 2000, with a career total of more than $35 million.
“I’m not a numbers
guy, but I appreciate it” Smith said. “Just keep grinding away.”
