The Indianapolis, Indiana born horsemen is currently sixth in the standings at Maywood Park and is enjoying a fine season at Balmoral Park as well.

“My dad got me started working with the horses when I was a little kid,” said Carpenter. “I always wanted to become a driver right from the start so hitting a milestone like this feels pretty special.”

Members of the Maywood Park driving colony congratulated Brian Carpenter after he posted his 2000th career victory with Itsallaboutwinning on Friday night.
