Ramón Vázquez rides 5 winners Saturday at Remington Park

The Remington Park return of jockey Ramón Vázquez is paying dividends in the win column. A former five-time leading rider at the Oklahoma City track from 2013 to 2017, Vázquez piled up five wins Saturday night.

Vázquez wasted no time beginning his winner’s circle parade in the opener on Wilburnsclassylady ($6.00 to win) for owners Angela Mancino and Nancy Oliver of Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, and trainer Ronnie Cravens III. The score was the 30th of the season for Vázquez.

The daily double was handled by Vázquez when he rode Slam Diego ($3.40) to victory for owner-trainer Robertino Diodoro of Hot Springs, Ark.

Pass Line ($5.60) provided the hat trick for Vázquez in race 4, winning for owner Timothy Guidry of Arnaudville, La. and trainer Abel Ramírez-Rodríguez.

Vázquez teamed with Diodoro for his final two wins of the night, scoring in race 7 with first-time starter Sooner Red ($4.40). The 2-year-old Oklahoma-bred filly was game in victory for owner Rosette Ranch of Mesa, Ariz.

The race 9 finale concluded the five wins with Dr. Ray D. ($7.60) flying through traffic, splitting rivals and getting up with a big rally over the turf at about five furlongs. Owned by Charles Garvey of Nisku, Alberta, the 4-year-old filly gave Diodoro his third training victory of the night.

Vázquez has 34 wins this season. He is eight ahead of Stewart Elliott, who is the two-time defending riding titlist at Remington Park. This is the first full season of action at Remington Park for Vázquez since he left after the 2021 season.

The three wins for Diodoro gave him 17 for the season. He jumped to the lead in the trainer standings. Steve Asmussen is second with 15 victories.
