Jockey Rides Six Longshot Winners
Jockey Mark Guidry dominated Friday’s 10-race program at Sportsman’s Park, riding six longshot winners to match the all-time track record.
Guidry, a 33-year-old native of Lafayette, La., won the first race with Valkeith, who paid $22.60; the second with Maybe K.B., $14; the fifth with Bonne Blue Boy, $21; the seventh with Full Forward, $18.40; the eighth with Hesaneighborto, $19.20, and the ninth with Compodray, $12.
Guidry’s performance is the best by a jockey at Sportsman’s Park in 42 years. Harold (Red) Keene did it twice in 1950.
