Three of Reyes’ winners – Awesome Noah, Ciborio and Oxar – are trained by Jose D’Angelo.
“It’s very special because of what happened yesterday. To win five races in a row is amazing,” Reyes said. “Yesterday I fell, but today I feel great, stronger.”

Reyes was shaken up but unhurt when his mount, Redhotnotbothered, clipped heels with Smoke an a Pancake on the backstretch of Saturday’s Race 6, sending the native of Venezuela to the ground. He was able to walk off the track but took off his three remaining mounts including Miss Mary Nell, who went on to win the $100,000 Ginger Punch under Jonathan Ocasio.
“When I fell I felt some pain and a little sore, but I take a little a chance to ride today,” Reyes said. “It’s been a great day.”
Reyes also won five races, including four in a row, July 11 at Gulfstream. The track record is seven consecutive wins set by Irad Ortiz Jr. Feb. 3, 2023.
