Ramon Vazquez won his second riding title in as many meets at Los Alamitos. Vázquez is the first rider to win five races in a single day since the return of thoroughbred racing in July 2014. The previous best was four wins, accomplished by six riders. Hard to Figure, a 2-year-old son of Hard Spun, won the Capote Stakes. He was trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert and ridden by Peter Miller. Two races before the capote, apprentice jockey Armando Aguilar won with his first career mount, guiding Sippin N Kissin to a three-quarter length win.
