Second year in a row for Homeister to capture the Title at Colonial Downs
(NEW KENT----7/21/10----) The Colonial Downs 2010 Thoroughbred racing season came to an end Wednesday night as jockey Rosemary Homeister, Jr. and trainer Hamilton Smith captured the leading titles for the 40-day summer meet.
The competition for leading jockey heated up late in the meet, as Rosemary Homeister, Jr., Horacio Karamanos, and Eric Camacho stood within one win of each other going into the final week. On Colonial Downs’ final card on Wednesday, Homeister made her 43-wins too much for others to catch, with Eric Camacho finishing second in the standings with 40 wins. Horacio Karamanos finished third with 39 wins. The leading jockey title is the second in a row for Homeister, Jr., who beat out Sheldon Russell last year.
