Josef Bartoš rides his 600th winner

Josef Bartoš had his 600th career win, on Wutzeline, in the Preis der Stadtwerke Bad Harzburg, at Bad Harzburg in Germany, on July 22nd. This is by some margin the greatest number of winners ridden a Czech jumps jockey – though about 100 of Bartoš’s winners have come on the flat.

Josef Bartoš currently rides mainly in Italy, but also takes every opportunity to ride elsewhere. He has ridden winners in eight European countries:

Italy 356 winners

Czech Republic 223 winners

Germany 8 winners

France 4 winners

Poland 4 winners

Sweden 2 winners

Switzerland 2 winners

Slovakia 1 winner

 

 

Based on statistics published on the Galopp Reporter website by Petr Malík. The statistics on the Jockey Club of the Czech Republic website are different, but presumably fail to take into account some of Bartoš’s winning rides abroad for foreign trainers.
