Cardenas continues good run with triple
Jockey Dick Cardenas continued his good run this season with a fine triple on Saturday. His three winners have allowed the Panamanian-born rider to share the lead in the jockeys’ championship with champion Dane Nelson.
Both riders have won 14 races since the start of the year. Cardenas started his triple with a romp aboard That Is It, who was winning his second race in succession after a 15-month absence from the racetrack.
He followed with Also Correct, who broke her maiden tag with an easy win and closed his threetimer on Terra Marique for trainer Anthony Smith. This Is It and Terra Marique are trained by Wayne DaCosta.
