Jockey Ramon Vazquez enters Friday with 399 career victories at Oaklawn, according to Equibase, racing’s official data gathering organization. Only 12 riders in Oaklawn history have reached 400 career victories.
Vazquez recorded his 399th career Oaklawn victory in Monday’s seventh race aboard Maximus Magic ($14.20) for trainer Norman McKnight. Vazquez, 39, had missed the previous three racing days (Dec. 29-31) serving a suspension for a riding infraction last summer at Del Mar in Southern California.
Vazquez spent 11 consecutive seasons as an Oaklawn regular (2012-2022) – amassing 393 victories and eight top four finishes in the standings – before relocating to Southern California in April 2022.
Vazquez returned to Oaklawn as a regular for the 2023-2024 meeting that began Dec. 8. He has six victories this season.
