Buick, born in Norway but based in Newmarket for Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin team, is the sixth jockey currently riding to reach 2,000 British winners, but none of those have made it to 3,000.
Buick turned professional in 2006 and said he hopes to carry on riding at the top level for another decade.
“You want to keep going. I’m in and around my prime in my career, at the age of 36, soon to be 37,” said Buick, who won the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas in May with Ruling Court and Desert Flower respectively.
“Touch wood, I’ve got many more good years left in the saddle and I want to really make it count.
“We’ve had Ryan (Moore) and Frankie (Dettori) and plenty of other names in the waiting room – we are in a golden period of jockeys at the moment.
“So we need to embrace it, keep going and keep making it special.”
