Five-Win Day Propels Abel Cedillo To Jockey Of The Week Title
Abel Cedillo's five-win day at Del Mar, including a victory in the Let It Ride Stakes aboard Strongconstitution, led to Jockey of the Week honors for Oct. 26 through Nov. 1. The award, which is voted on by a panel of racing experts, is for jockeys who are members of the Jockeys' Guild, the organization which represents more than 950 active riders in the United States as well as retired and permanently disabled jockeys.
Abel Cedillo said he was feeling “lucky” when racing began Sunday afternoon at Del Mar. He had a mount in all nine races and when he won the first one, he said his confidence went up. By the time the day was done, the 31-year-old Guatemalan had finished first five times, including a confident ride in the day's feature, the $75,000 Let It Ride Stakes aboard Roadrunner Racing or Sayjay Racing's Strongconstitution.
As the mile grass stakes race for 3-year-olds unfolded, Cedillo was up close along the rail, but heading home the field bunched at the head of the stretch. He looked outside, but quickly wheeled his Constitution colt alongside the fence where there was the smallest of openings. Both rider and horse were game as they dove on through and held off Hronis Racing's Heywoods Beach for the score.
Cedillo's earlier winners on the card were 1st Race – Spielberg ($3.80); 2nd Race – War Path ($8.60); 4th Race – Freedom Lass ($13.00), and 5th Race – Chollima ($5.40).
“Five wins today, wow. I was feeling lucky and when I won a close one with that first one (Spielberg by a neck in the first race), I had lots of confidence,” Cedillo said. “Then I rode with that confidence from there on out. I'd won five races on a single day once before up at Golden Gate Fields, but this is a first down here. My horse (Strongconstitution) ran strong in the stakes. We got through inside and he got it done.”
Cedillo out-polled fellow riders Jose L. Ortiz who won two stakes at Belmont Park, Marcelino Pedroza, Jr. who won two stakes at Indiana Grand, Luis E. Perez who won the most races for the week with nine and Ricardo Santana, Jr. who was third in total purse earnings.

Stakes Winner Vorticity Retired From Racing; Stud Plans Pending
Matthew Schera's stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed Vorticity has been retired from racing.
Schera purchased the speedy son of Distorted Humor at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training sale for $220,000. Vorticity was a stakes winner by year's end, using a wire-to-wire maiden special score at Aqueduct going seven furlongs as a launching pad to victory in the $100,000 Marylander Stakes at Laurel Park.
Vorticity then embarked on the 2016 Kentucky Derby trail with strong placings in both the Grade 3 Jerome Stakes and G3 Withers Stakes. He earned black type on two more occasions including a sharp third to Catalina Cruiser and Battle of Midway in the G2 Pat O'Brien Stakes at Del Mar. Vorticity retires with $347,040 in the bank.
“I look at a lot of stride data, and Vorticity had a very large stride and he had a very efficient way of going,” said Schera.
Out of the fast multiple graded stakes-winning Flatter mare Tar Heel Mom, Vorticity is bred on the highly successful Distorted Humor/A. P. Indy cross.
A stud deal is pending for Vorticity. He is cataloged as stallion prospect in the upcoming Keeneland November auction with South Point Sales.

Breeders’ Cup To Partner With EquiLottery Games For Two Championships Races
Kentucky Lottery players can be part of the action at this week's Breeders' Cup World Championships as two races will be featured in Kentucky's Win Place Show game. In its first year of operation, the live horse racing lottery game is available at thousands of lottery terminals across the state.
Kentucky Lottery players will be able to buy a quick pick lottery ticket which includes three horses featured in the TVG Breeders' Cup Juvenile presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance on Friday, Nov. 6 and the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday, Nov. 7. This year's edition of the Breeders' Cup is being held at the historic Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky.
“It was my first trip to the Breeders' Cup in 2009 that gave me the idea for what it is now Win Place Show,” said EquiLottery Games Founder and CEO Brad Cummings. “I was so captured by the excitement of this two-day event and out of that experience, I was inspired to develop a way to bring new people to a sport that had eluded me until my 30s. Having the Breeders' Cup join our iconic catalog of sports brands is literally a dream come true. We look forward to bringing these exceptional races to players all across the Commonwealth.”
Players will be able to purchase Win Place Show tickets based on the two Breeders' Cup races on Nov. 6 and 7 at any Kentucky Lottery retailer. All tickets are two dollars and quick pick-only which means players do not have to be an expert in horse racing to win money at the races through Win Place Show. Each ticket has a QR code that allows players to download the Win Place Show mobile app. Players will be directed to the NBC telecast for the live stream and back to the mobile app for race replays. As part of this collaboration, the Kentucky Lottery and Win Place Show will be holding social media contests and placing in-store signage in nearly all locations to build excitement and awareness around the game.
“We are excited to be running the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships in Kentucky and to be able to bring the races to all Kentucky Lottery players through the Win Place Show game,” said Breeders' Cup Senior Vice President, Marketing Justin McDonald. “As always, the event will showcase the top Thoroughbred talent in the world, and this year fans in Kentucky will have even more reason to cheer and tune-in to NBC Sports thanks to Win Place Show.”
The Breeders' Cup joins a growing list of iconic sports brands that have teamed up with EquiLottery Games to grow this live sports lottery game category. Over the past year, EquiLottery Games has announced licensing agreements with iconic sports brands including Major League Baseball, NASCAR, the National Basketball Association, and the Preakness Stakes. Win Place Show has been developed in partnership with AmTote International and 1 S/T Technologies, the leader in horse racing technology.
