Jockey Vicente Del Cid won his third overall riding title and his first since the 2023-24 season at the 76-day Delta Downs meeting which concluded Saturday. Allen Landry captured his second consecutive leading trainer title at the Louisiana oval and Endzone Athletics (Karl Broberg and Matt Johanson) won its 14th leading owner crown.

Del Cid won 129 races from 449 mounts, which was 76 wins ahead of second-place rider Joel Dominguez. The Guatemalan native also set a new single-season record with total mount earnings of $3,109,245. He is the first jockey to exceed $3 million in mount earnings since the track opened in 1973.

Landry won his title by saddling 40 winners from 194 starts and his barn also garnered the most mount earnings this season with a mark of $1,278,535.

End Zone Athletics was represented by 21 winners from 96 starts at the meet and earned a total of $362,940, which ranked third behind Elite Thoroughbred Racing (Michele Rodriguez), $524,635, and Norman Stables (Robert A. Norman), with $505,135.
