The debate won out over Turfway at 10:00 on a Thursday night. Watched at home, though, hope she enjoys her vacation, well-deserved.

Otto is a jock that rides at tracks like Turfway, Thistle and maybe Beaulah.
A jock wins a race for you at 35-1 you tend to remember.

Jockey Thorwarth scores 1,000th victory
Jockey Otto Thorwarth earned his 1,000th career victory on Saturday when he guided Simon Peter to a 4 1/4-length victory in the fourth race at Beulah Park.
The Mercer Mill colt stalked the pace from four wide, rallied on the far turn, and dueled with Fine Prince for the lead. Simon Peter surged clear in the stretch en route to the milestone victory.
Thorwarth began riding professionally in 1992 and earned his first stakes victory a year later with Front Line Only in the Rainbow Miss Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
Through March 31, Thorwarth was the second leading jockey by wins at Beulah Park with 47 victories from 280 mounts that earned $241,801.
