Con 7 potras en competencia, incluidas tres debutantes, el favoritismo fue unánime (6-5) para Gambling Girl (20, por Dialed In), una entrenada de Todd Pletcher, que tuvo sobre sus estribos al líder Irad Ortiz Jr. Lopez is in a tie for third with Tyler Gaffalione. Ortiz is the leading rider at the meet with 107 wins.

Lopez said he doesn't know why Ortiz was so mad at him. I know that if I had done to him what he did to me I would have been ruled off from the track.” “The stewards there are very tough on me,” he said.

In 2019, he received a 30-day suspension for careless riding, followed later on in the meet by a 60-day suspension for “continuous careless riding.” He said that was in the back of his mind when the fight was taking place. Lopez has run afoul of the Gulfstream stewards in the past. “But I was just sitting down in the chair, waiting for the result at the same time as him. “If I had fought him back, I'd have a fine, too,” Lopez said. Lopez lodged an objection but the stewards let the result stand as is. Known Agenda won by 11 lengths.Ĭoming out of the far turn, Known Agenda came over a path and appeared to bother Top Gun Tommy before pulling away from his rival. The altercation occurred after Ortiz guided Known Agenda ( Curlin) to a win over Lopez's mount, Top Gun Tommy ( Mineshaft) in the allowance race. The TDN tried to reach Ortiz through his agent Steve Rushing but Rushing did not return a phone call. According to the Racing Form, probation means that any future altercation between the two riders would result in “fines and/or suspension and possible expulsion from the grounds.” Ortiz was fined $1,000 and both riders were put on probation. I don't want any trouble going forward,” Lopez said. The fight was captured on a video that shows Ortiz landing at least three punches on Lopez following the fourth race Friday at Gulfstream. That there was a fight between Ortiz and Lopez was first reported by the Daily Racing Form's Mike Welsch. After scuffling Friday at Gulfstream Park with Irad Ortiz, Jr., which caused him to be put on probation for the remainder of the meet, Paco Lopez told the TDN Monday he is ready to move on.
