That’s what it sure looks like, that was an example of a perfectly timed ride from gate to wire on a racetrack he doesn’t normally ride at very much at all

I bet the horse that came flying for 2nd in this race, but the ride by Iraq Ortiz in this race was as perfect a ride as you’ll ever see. I see many other jockeys with favourites try these exact same timing tactics and get caught Irad seems to get horses to give everything when he asks them, in increments without going all out for home too soon. One of the greatest riders in the making and brother is obviously no slouch, they provide each other competition.
