Scores stakes victory with Heywoods Beach in marathon on dirt
Earlier this spring, with his riding career in the Southwest reaching its peak, jockey Ramon Vazquez announced he was headed East to the richer racing grounds of Kentucky and New York.
The change of course paid dividends Sunday as the 38-year-old native of Puerto Rico rode Heywoods Beach to an upset victory over defending champion Tizamagician in the marathon Grade III Cougar II Stakes at Del Mar. “I told Ramon the two Mandella horses and third-place Extra Hope are tactical like us,” said winning trainer John Sadler. “We just laid second off Tizamagician and we won.
The Cougar II gave Vazquez back-to-back wins on Sunday’s card — he won for trainer Phil D’Amato aboard Gregdar in the seventh — and three wins on the first weekend. He won for Peter Miller aboard C Z Rocket on Saturday.
