Vanderbilt Handicap with Poseidon’s Warrior. Among his other victories are three Breeders’ Cups and NYRA riding titles in 2014 and 2015.
Graham Motion
Along with Ortiz, Graham Motion is no stranger to Breeders’ Cup wins! Motion gained victory in the 2004 Turf with Better Talk Now, the 2010 Filly and Mare Turf with Shared Account, and the 2014 Turf with Main Sequence. His more notable thoroughbreds include Aruna, Shared Interest, Film Maker, and Animal Kingdom, who went on to win the 2011 Kentucky Derby and 2013 Dubai World Cup.
Robertino Diodoro
