On Monday (Feb. 8) at Monticello Raceway, Bruce Aldrich Jr. reached a career milestone by achieving his 8,000th win.

The win came with a wire-to-wire effort from the Christopher Petrelli-trained After The Lovin ($2.80) in 1:57.2. It was the third win in four seasonal starts for the five-year-old mare by Carnivore. She is owned by David A Del Pozza. Roll With Mimi finished second, followed by Cruisin Camnation.

It would be only fitting for Bruce Aldrich to achieve the milestone at Monticello Raceway, where he has won more than half of his wins in his career. Aldrich is a six-time leading dash winner over the years at the "Mighty M".

Aldrich has won purses in excess of $31,946,762 during his long career.
