The Panamanian José Lezcano dramatically achieved a victory, the scepter of riders in Belmont Park in its Spring-Summer season of 2019 that continues to advance at a rapid pace in the last semester of its calendar.

The leadership dispute against his countryman Luis Sáez was very exciting, because on Saturday they were very active and on two occasions there was no advantage for anyone because they were tied at the top of the statistic. As in Gulfstream Park, Luis stayed at the same distance from champion Irad Ortiz Jr.

With the victory of Luis on the loins of the Promised Filled Loafer, who crushed his rivals in the 7 furlongs of the John A. Nerud, obtaining in passing his direct ticket to the BC Sprint to be held in Santa Aita next November. The son of Shackleford did not even disheveled to handle with ease the 56 kilos he carried on his shoulders, giving an advantage of 2 to 4 kilos over his opponents in turn.

But Lezcano did not stay with his arms crossed and in the Belmont Derby uncovered the knob of the essence and took Henley’s Joy, forgotten on the board to 21-1 (for a dollar paid 21), a victory that will never forget the Panamanian , because not only caused the biggest payments in the afternoon, but that victory meant the championship.

Of course at that time nobody knew this, there was a complete function to develop and the main contenders to the scepter had some mounts during the Sunday, however neither of them could reach a good port during the billboard and the numbers did not move between those involved.

Chad Brown, as expected, won the scepter of the coaches repeating the dose applied in the season of Aqueduct, on Thursday begins the summer season in Saratoga, without a doubt it will be the maximum challenge for the efficient coach who is unstoppable.
