M R Cruz was leading jockey at Tampa Bay Downs and pretty much rode rings around the local boys.
He has moved his tack to a more competitive track, i.e. Calder.
Going into yesterday he had 6 mounts at Calder winning 1 and coming in 3d in another.
Yesterday at Calder he had 6 mounts and won 3 with prices of 5.60, 11.80, and 18.00. At Tampa he rode exclusively for Henry Collazo and had a phenomanel win percentage. Kathleen O'Connell used him at Tampa and 2 of his wins yesterday were for her. Look for both trainers to hand him live mounts.
The kid can ride and I look for the more solid trainers to start using him.
