OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Joe Migliore is about to embark on the life of a double agent. Migliore, who earlier this year left West Point Thoroughbreds to become a bloodstock agent, will add the title of jockey agent to his repertoire. Migliore will represent jockey Trevor McCarthy, who is expected to begin riding at Aqueduct next Thursday after missing the last 11 weeks due to an ankle injury. Migliore is the son of the former jockey-turned-analyst Richard Migliore and the nephew of Michael Migliore, who is a jockey’s agent representing Dylan Davis. “I think I know pretty clearly what the job takes and I’ve always looked at it as a job where hard work is rewarded and I think that’s how my father, my uncle, and myself conduct ourselves at the racetrack and take some pride in that,” Migliore said. “It’s something that I think is going to balance very well with my bloodstock career, and I think if anything the two roles will complement each other.” Last winter, McCarthy had a solid Aqueduct meet winning 39 races from 275 mounts. That was good for fifth in the standings as were his $2.2 million in purse earnings. McCarthy moved his tack to Southern California for the spring and summer but won just nine races from 156 mounts between Santa Anita, Los Alamitos, and Del Mar. He hasn’t ridden since Aug. 29, having undergone ankle surgery in the interim. :: Join DRF Bets and play the races with a $250 First Deposit Bonus. Click to learn more. Migliore said McCarthy has been breezing horses in the morning at Belmont for a week or more. “Tremendously excited about how his return has been received, lots of people looking for us in the mornings, and we’ve been very active in the mornings,” Migliore said. “Excited to build upon the success he had last year before going to California and think that we’ll be able to repeat if not expand that success this winter and beyond.” Migliore said the goal is for McCarthy to become a year-round New York rider. McCarthy and his wife, jockey Katie Davis, are expecting their first child in mid-December. Sciacca wins 1,000th race When Caumsett won Thursday’s first race at Aqueduct, it was the 1,000th career victory for trainer Gary Sciacca. Sciacca, 61, recorded his first career victory at Aqueduct with Proud Northern on Oct. 21, 1981. He trained Saratoga Dew to win the Eclipse Award as champion 3-year-old filly in 1992, trained two-time Grade 1 winner Subordination, and was a two-time leading trainer at Belmont Park in the 1990s.
