Five-Win Day for Ortiz

Jose Ortiz piloted five winners on Aqueduct's Sunday race card. The 22-year-old rider swept the early Pick 3 with Moondance Joy in the first race, Voided Contract in the second and Matt King Coal in the third. Returning to the winner's circle a few races later, Ortiz rode Imslopokerodriguez to victory in the seventh race before ending his day with a win in the eighth race aboard Repent Twice. Ortiz, who won the track's spring title a year ago, also rode four winners on Saturday's GIII Gotham day card at Aqueduct. “It feels pretty great,” Ortiz said. “It's the first time I've won five races in one day, so I'm happy today. I've got to keep doing what I'm doing. I won last year, so I want to win this year too.”
