Ramon Dominguez wins six at Belmont Park
June 5, 2011NEW YORK (AP) - Ramon Dominguez rode six winners at Belmont Park on Sunday, equaling the New York Racing Association one-day record.
Dominguez was 6 for 8 on the card, finishing second and third on his other two mounts. It was the 16th time a rider scored that many wins on single day at Belmont, Saratoga or Aqueduct.
Dominguez and Jorge Velasquez are only jockeys to win six in a day at Belmont. Steve Cauthen is the all-time leader, having done it three times.
It was first time Dominguez hit that number in New York.
The Dominguez victory parade included a sweep of the $75,000 New York Stallion Stakes for 3-year-olds. He won with Darrin's Dilemma in the Spectacular Bid division and with Hessonite in the Cupecoy's Joy for fillies.
