McCarthy, Bravo Riding Winners In First Season At Del Mar Sponsored by:
Jockey Trevor McCarthy.
Jockeys Joe Bravo and Trevor McCarthy, in from New Jersey and New York, respectively, for an initial summertime campaign at Del Mar, rode winners on Saturday.
McCarthy, 27, is riding at Del Mar for the first time. He notched his first win here aboard Stage Ready ($22.20) in the seventh race for trainer Mike Maker.
Bravo, 49, accepted occasional stakes assignments at Del Mar over the course of a 33-year career, but prior to this season had always spent summers at Monmouth Park earning the nickname “Jersey Joe” for racking up victories there. Bravo recorded back-to-back wins Saturday with Ginobili ($15.20) in the eighth and Ippodamia s Girl ($14.80) in the Osunitas Stakes.
