• Ortiz, the nation's third-leading jockey in terms of purse money earned, is at Oaklawn for the four-day opening weekend and could return for more trips. Ortiz led the nation in wins in victory with 351, and is one of three finalist to win an Eclipse as the nation's best rider. He is loaded with top mounts this weekend and should find the winner's circle often.
