Agapito's stats are 49-7-6-5 $228,288.00

I'm pretty sure he did most of his riding on Thoroughbreds at Los Al, not Quarter Horses. If memory serves he was the leading TB rider there for years and years and years, so the jump would be from the small time to the big time. And in that case, yes. Many riders have accomplished the feat from small to big. (Tongue in cheek, you know...)
