Latest phenom apprentice jock Yomar Ortiz Jr. doesn't forget the people who have brought him along. We caught up with him this morning galloping Claiming Crown horses for The Maryland Jockey Club trainer Joanne Shankle. It's his close connection to Assistant Rodolfo Sanchez-Salomon that brought him by. Good friends with Yomar's father, an active mid-atlantic jockey, the assistant trainer is prepping three of Shankle's horses for Saturday. Having practically grown up at Laurel, Yomar is relishing the chance to help out old friends. 🌟 "I’m very excited because he’s basically watched me grow up as a little kid coming to his barn - and now I get the opportunity to ride for him!"🌟 Yomar will ride Ginger Girl in the Glass Slipper while Martin Chuan gets the mounts on Bold Diversion (Rapid Transit) and Bill of Rights (Iron Horse).Good luck to all! ...

What an honor it was to spend time with Rosie Napravnik and Jena Antonucci ahead of @BreedersCup!

Two incredible women who have made history and helped pave the way for others in thoroughbred racing. So grateful for this opportunity 🏇

@Hennigracing 1989…this prolly wouldn’t fly in 2026 but I loved it so much I framed it. Me as a witch heading into the Cal Cup was beyond appropriate. 🧙‍♀️🧡 tremendous loss @BellocqRemi 🙏🏻
