It's the 11th race on July 15th. Eliut Morales was riding the first race of his career and managed to pull off some shocking acrobatics to stay on his mount.

If i remember correctly, i dont think it was his first mount, but i do think it was his first win, but didnt William Antongeorgi lose his iron right at the start and ride the entire race with one foot in the stirrup and win?? thought i remember that for some reason.

Check out Martin Garcia coming out of the gate in Del Mar's 1st yesterday. The head-on is incredible....oh yeah, he won the race.
