Trainer Carmen Auciello celebrated a career milestone Thursday night at Woodbine Racetrack.
The 35-year-old conditioner sent out four-year-old pacing mare Twin B Sweetheart to victory in Thursday’s fourth-race and surpassed $10 million in career earnings with the victory.
A Stouffville, Ontario resident, Auciello entered Thursday just $6,823 shy of the milestone.
Auciello’s stable has earned over $200,000 in the first month of 2016. Last season, the conditioner put up career high numbers with 194 victories and over $2.7 million in earnings.
Auciello, who recorded his first starts as a trainer in 2004, was the top trainer of the 2015 Mohawk Racetrack meet and overall on the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) circuit in 2014.
This season, Auciello leads all conditioners on the WEG circuit with 10 victories. He will look to keep things rolling with eight starters entered to go this weekend at Woodbine.
The Woodbine Entertainment Group would like to extend its congratulations to Carmen on his milestone.
