Rohan Crichton hits 500 winners in North America
Twelve years after starting with just two horses he owned, Jamaican-born trainer Rohan Crichton reached a career milestone at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
Das 1st Alles Ally’s victory in race five, with Miguel Vasquez aboard, gave Crichton his 500th North American winner.
The moment was not lost on Crichton, who now splits his operation between Florida and Jamaica.
“I started with two horses, both owned by myself. Then with time, about six months later, I had 15 horses in my barn.
“This 500th winner is a culmination of several years of painstaking work, which I am proud of. To win 500 races is never an easy task, yet thanks to the team I have reached this significant position in my career,” Crichton shared.
Crichton admitted the road had been “long and rough”, but the persistence paid off.
And the momentum did not stop there.
Just two days later, on Monday, July 27, Crichton added another notch to his tally when Cruizin Man, ridden by Pedro Pena, won the ninth race at Gulfstream Park, pushing his total to 501 victories.
