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! ...

It's @nationalhbpa Claiming Crown eve @ChurchillDowns, and even though there's a great card awaiting us today, hard not to get excited about these average payoffs on Claiming Crown day over the years. #BigBalloons

The Claiming Crown is tomorrow and the contenders are arriving at @ChurchillDowns.

Watch some, like Freedom Road and Kerness K, as they prepared this week on APharoah12’s YouTube page: https://youtu.be/k_A4uw1zrl8?is=EOLt1SV95HQ9W-8Y

@nationalhbpa @TOBAhorses @KyHBPA @InnovationDavis @BH_SCollins

You could win a bar bet on this: Jamie Ness - winner of > 5.1K races out of >20K starts - will run his first horse ever at @ChurchillDowns when he runs 3 in Saturday's $1.2M #ClaimingCrown. He starts off w a good one, as the Claiming Crown begins in R4 w Kerness K shooting for

Freedom Road's connections have unfinished business at Churchill Downs. Finishing 2nd in the Iron Horse two years running, tomorrow he’s back in the starting gate and gunning to finally get that win! The 6yo Malibu Moon gelding has quite a crush on @andie_biancone (who doesn't)
