Historic 9,000th win for Wrenn Jr

Ronnie Wrenn Jr reached a milestone at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows on Thursday afternoon (February 5), making it to the winners circle for the 9,000^th time in his career.

The 39-year-old reinsman entered the day with 8,997 victories, then won two of the first four races on the card.  In race #6, he sent trotter Green Meadow to the front just past the quarter, and held on for a narrow victory in 1:58.2 for career win #9,000.  Justin Mullett trains Green Meadow for owners Courtney Gramlich and Gabriel Miller.

Wrenn finished the day with five wins, and now sits at 9,002 in his career, which started in 2008 with two wins in 9 starts.  Six years later, he had a career best 847 wins, and has won more than 500 races per year every season since 2013.

Wrenn and the rest of The Meadows’ driving colony will be back in action on Friday, with a 14-race card slated for a 12:45pm start.
