Jockey Tevin Foster achieved a monumental career milestone on February 7, 2026, securing his 400th professional victory at Jamaica’s Caymanas Park racetrack. The historic win occurred aboard Tigray Express, a thoroughbred trained by Adrian Prince, during the day’s seventh race—an Optional Claiming event for three-year-olds and upward.
The race unfolded strategically after Tigray Express started slowly from the gates. Foster expertly positioned the horse in second place behind early leader Golden Loyalty down the backstretch. Demonstrating tactical prowess, Foster urged his mount forward in the final stretch, ultimately claiming victory by a comfortable margin of one and a half lengths in the 1,300-meter contest.
In an emotional post-race interview with The Supreme Racing Guide, Foster expressed profound gratitude for the achievement. ‘I am grateful for this milestone. The hard work and dedication have finally paid off,’ stated the accomplished jockey. He specifically acknowledged the support system that contributed to his success, including trainers, owners, stable staff, family members, and loyal supporters throughout his career.
Foster reflected on the inevitable challenges of professional horse racing, noting, ‘There were numerous ups and downs, but obstacles are meant to be overcome.’ The jockey provided context to his achievement timeline, revealing that a seven-month riding engagement overseas had potentially delayed reaching the 400-win marker sooner.
When questioned about future aspirations, Foster remained focused on immediate objectives while acknowledging the ultimate ambition of every professional jockey: ‘Winning a jockeys’ championship would be the icing on the cake. A champion is a champion—it would be a tremendous feeling and a significant enhancement to my racing career.’ The jockey emphasized that continued hard work and dedication would determine what accomplishments follow this significant milestone.
