Jockey Vernon Bush, 61, did the unthinkable on Sunday's card, riding two 25-1 shot winners.
Both first-race winner Delta Ridge ($53.20), a 4-year-old Will Take Charge gelding, and 5-year-old Distorted Humor gelding Distorted Times ($53.40), winner of the seventh on the turf, are owned by Michael H. Rhodes and trained by former jockey Jennifer Quinones, who competed against Bush from 1978-89 at Rockingham Park in New Hampshire.
Bush seemed to be a bit disbelieving himself.
“If I won one today, I was going to be ecstatic,” he said. “But to win two against this caliber of riders, it feels beyond good.”
A lot of fans who didn't cash a ticket on either horse were in full agreement.
Bush has 3,250 career victories. He was recently named the recipient of the 2022 Randy Romero “Pure Courage” Award.
