On a sunny father's day race card at Woodbine racetrack, jockey Rafael Hernandez did the unthinkable and won half the card from the day's racing. He almost had a sixth winner when he rode Niagara Skyline to a second place finish in the last race of the day and was only a head away from the finish line.
It really was a spectacular piece of riding from Hernandez who has consistently been in the top five jockeys at Woodbine over the years. One of the big payouts of the day came when Hernandez rode Souped Up to an impressive victory in race seven, he practically lead from start to finish and won by five and a half lengths. that winner paid $38.20, $13.90, $6.10.
On the day Hernandez was the winner of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th.
Hernandez currently sits on top of the jockey standings with 25 winners and earnings of $864,873 USD at Woodbine.
