Harness driver Yannick Gingras picked up the 3,000th win of his career in the first race Wednesday night at Meadowlands Racetrack.
Gingras wired the field with 2-1 favorite Income De Vie.
The 30-year-old Quebec native is currently fifth in the Meadowlands driver standings and has ranked in the Top 10 each year since joining the local driving colony in 2004.
He won $9 million in purses for the third straight year in 2009, placing him eighth among all drivers in North America.
