Hall-of-Famer Gary Stevens reached major career milestone yesterday at Belmont, winning 5,000th race aboard 3-year-old European filly Joint Aspiration at 5-1 in Gaviola Stakes on turf.

See you at Big A Wednesday; 12:30 post.

SECOND RACE: Look up “form reversal” in dictionary, you’ll find this race. Quiet and Fiesty, 2-year-old NY-bred gelding, was 41-1 in turf sprint; odds could have been twice that high off Sept. 29 debut going seven furlongs on dirt, when he was outrun finishing 11th of 12 beaten 21 lengths. Switching riders from Mike Luzzi to Alan Garcia, Quiet and Fiesty gunned up rail to take lead from River Squire down backside, set pace pressed by River Squire, turned back challenge from that one deep stretch to post upset.
