Castellano, Loooch Racing, Maker Top Penn Gaming Challenge

Jockey Javier Castellano topped the jockey standings for the fourth time in as many years for the Penn Gaming Racing Challenge, it was announced Monday. He was joined by trainer Mike Maker and owner Loooch Racing atop the leaderboards.

Inaugurated in 2014, the Penn Gaming Challenge allows trainers, owners and jockeys to accumulate weighted points based on their finishes in various stakes held at Charles Town Races, Penn National, Mahoning Valley, Sam Houston Race Park, and Zia Park throughout the year. At the end of the Challenge, the owner, trainer, and jockey with the most points will each receive two round-trip airfare tickets and a three-night stay at the M Resort in Las Vegas.
