Pletcher, Irad Ortiz enjoy multi-win Sunday
Barbara D. Livingston Irad Ortiz Jr. won four races on Sunday at Gulfstream, including a score in an allowance with Mischevious Alex.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Leading trainer Todd Pletcher and two-time defending jockey champion Irad Ortiz Jr. closed out the week on a high note, with Pletcher posting three victories on Sunday’s card and Ortiz doing him one better with a four-bagger that culminated with a score aboard odds-on Mischevious Alex in the $52,000 allowance feature.
Mischevious Alex was making his first start Sunday since finishing sixth in the Grade 1 Allen Jerkens on Aug. 1 at Saratoga and first since being transferred to trainer Saffie Joseph Jr.’s barn during the fall. A son of Into Mischief, Mischevious Alex was a seven-length winner of the Grade 3 Swale here last winter.
