HALLANDALE BEACH - Two-time Eclipse Award winner Irad Ortiz Jr., who rode three winners Friday and four winners Saturday, brought home six more winners on Sunday’s 11-race card at Gulfstream Park.

    “I’m having a great meet so far," Ortiz said. "I’m so happy right now. I’m enjoying the moment. My agent [Jay Rushing] is doing a great job. I’m getting the best support from all the owners and trainers. They support me a lot here. I’m so happy. My family is here with me. I’m living the dream right now.”
