Trainer Stuart Earns Career Victory 1,000
Description:
Southwest-based trainer Clinton Stuart picked up the 1,000th victory of his career Feb. 20 when he sent out Stewart Levine and Curtis Culver's Crossbow Star to a victory in a maiden-claiming race at Sam Houston Race Park.
Sent off at 9-5 odds with David Cabrera up, Crossbow Star led at every point of call in winning the 5 1/2-furlong dirt race by a neck.
Stuart, of Edmond, Okla., won the 1997 Modesty Handicap (G3T) at Arlington International Racecourse with War Thief. His stakes winners in the past 12 months include Penguini and Phantom Trip.
