SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Ramon Dominguez rode at three tracks in three different states and did not return home until after midnight on Saturday night - not the kind of itinerary one might expect would lead to a record-setting performance less than 24 hours later.
But despite his busy travelling schedule on Saturday, Dominguez bounced back to ride six winners on Sunday's 10-race program at Saratoga, equaling the track record for most victories by a jockey on one card. John Velazquez rode six winners on Sept. 3, 2001.
Complete coverage of racing at Saratoga: News, PPs, and video
No jockey has ever won more than six races in one day at any New York Racing Association track.
Dominguez’s memorable afternoon began with victories aboard Paper Plane and the odds-on Summer Front in the early daily double. Summer Front’s victory came in the $100,000 Duluth Stakes.
Dominguez then won the fourth race with Rigby, the seventh aboard Temper in Command, and the eighth with Memorable Peach, before completing his six pack by guiding the 3-1 favorite Wet One to victory in the finale.
Dominguez’s only loss on the card was a second-place finish with the even-money Current Design in the fifth race. His mount in the Grade 2 Sanford Stakes, Good Tickled, was scratched. Dominguez, who won the Saratoga riding title in 2009, won nine races over the opening four days of this meet.
“I got to bed last night at 12:20,” said Dominguez, referring to his busy day on Saturday. “I didn’t come out this morning and I felt great. And after you win a race, you feel even better. It was an easy day to go through.”
Dominguez said that after looking at the card he thought he had a good shot to win a lot of races on Sunday.
“It was one of those days I looked at the program and was very excited about my chances,” said Dominguez. “But we all know that luck is a big factor. So often you come into a day thinking you’ll win a lot and you don’t and the other way around. I’m just happy it materialized like I was hoping. I was riding good horses and everything just clicked into place.”
Dominguez said that at the top of the stretch he wasn’t sure he was going to get his record-equaling sixth victory astride Wet One in the nightcap.
“Turning for home I was very concerned because it didn’t look like it was going to open up for me,” said Dominguez. “My filly was in hand and I’m just happy when it did, she was ready to go right through it. It’s great to win six races anywhere, but doing it at Saratoga is definitely special.”

Here's another point of view......... I LOVE RAMON. Nothing is better than hearing those old time degenerates at the track, yelling for Ramon and then whining when he loses. Like my dad always taught me. "When they start putting the horses on the top - I'll start betting on the jockeys" Anyone who handocaps for a living has got to love a guy who drives the odds down on any horse he sits on. Thanks Ramon!!!

amazing how well he rides when theres a pick 6 carryover on the line.one thing thats interesting is that jockeys dont race ride this guy its like hes everybodys buddy,if it was j leparoux or j lezcano the holes would stay shut.ive watched him closely and theres no doubt hes a great jockey but when he gets beat on a very short priced favorite its almost allways for a smaller stable and the horse gets a bad ride,but when he wants it hes cool as a cuccumber.

"I was riding good horses"..........better than riding mediocre horses Im sure. nice job all the same.

Best Bets
SLIGO JOE finished third, fourth, or fifth against classier company in each of his last four races. He ran fast enough in his last two starts to beat this type on the plunge from $10,000 optional claiming into this $5,000 N1Y field. LATCH LIGHTING only finished fifth as the favorite at this class level last time. He should be a factor today, but he seems more likely to contend in the minor exotic slots than he is to beat this field. STEALTH HERO ran a dull race when he beat just one opponent here on a muddy track in his last race.
