Jockey Cristian Torres has ridden the momentum of his first career riding title into a comfortable lead through the first 41 days of Oaklawn’s scheduled 68-day meeting that ends May 6.
“Cody’s been a very successful trainer,” Castle said. “Knows the industry well, knows the condition book well. Very bright and I just thought it would be a very good marriage. I thought Cody would be a very good person for Cristian, vice versa, and I just wanted to focus every capacity on Ramon.”

Less than an hour later, Green was strolling into the Larry Snyder Winner s Circle following her first career training victory recognized by Equibase, racing s official data gathering organization.
Green achieved her personal milestone with Kristo ($18.20), who won the fifth race, a starter-allowance route, by 3 ¾ lengths under Elvin Gonzalez. Kristo marked the 21st recognized starter for Green, who saddled her first horse in 2020, according to Equibase. Green s husband, Ike, is a former trainer who now assists his wife and Robertino Diodoro, Oaklawn s leading trainer in 2020. Aidan Green said she has seven horses on the track in training.
