LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Jockey Julien Leparoux has broken a 23-year-old Churchill Downs record for wins at a Fall Meet previously held by Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day.

Leparoux rode Just Like William to victory in the third race Friday for his 56th win of the meet and second of the day. He also won the second race aboard Calabria.

Day previously established the Fall Meet mark in 1985 when he rode 55 winners in a 30-day meet.
