OZONE PARK, N.Y. - When last seen in New York, Ramon Dominguez was celebrating his 36th birthday on Nov. 24 winning five races at Aqueduct, including three graded stakes. The following day, he rode at Hollywood Park.
Dominguez has not ridden since Nov. 25 because of a badly bruised foot suffered earlier in November. Dominguez is scheduled to return Wednesday at Aqueduct, where he is named on six horses, including Saratoga Snacks in the $75,000 Alex Robb Stakes.
Dominguez will finish 2012 as the leading rider on the New York Racing Association circuit for the fourth straight year. He has won 309 races at Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga, and missed two months because of injuries. Cornelio Velasquez and Javier Castellano are tied for second on this circuit with 178 winners.
Dominguez has spent the last week in Italy, where he and his wife have family.
Leading trainer down to wire
Beginning with Wednesday’s card there are six days remaining in the calendar year and there are four individuals with a chance to be leading trainer on this circuit.
Entering Wednesday’s card, David Jacobson and Richard Dutrow Jr. are tied with 106 wins apiece with Todd Pletcher one behind with 105. Rudy Rodriguez has 101, but he’s already demonstrated the ability to win races in bunches, having gone 6 for 11 in the first week of the inner-track season.
“I think I have enough ammunition, but I don’t know what they have,” said Jacobson, who will send out the probable favorite, Saginaw, in Wednesdays’ Alex Robb. “Those are some tough names that you mentioned. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing, and if I get lucky and win that’d be terrific.”
Rodriguez’s primary owner, Michael Dubb, enters the final week of the meet with a 65-57 lead over Drawing Away Stable for leading owner on this circuit. Mike Repole (45), Klaravich Stables (42) and Winning Move Stable (34) round out the top five.

HOLY SIMONE rallied five wide from sixth to finish second at this Louisiana-bred $12,500 maiden claiming level. A similar performance would probably make her a comfortable winner in this softer field at the same class level. RULERS STAR has already had 16 chances to graduate. She occasionally runs well enough to compete for a slot in the exotics, but she'll have to improve to scare the top selection. TRACAS should be in the mix for a minor prize here. The addition of blinkers can help as she improves in the second race of her form cycle, and drops from Louisiana-bred maiden special.
