Apprentice jockey
Ryan Curatolo won four races on Friday at Aqueduct Racetrack and is tied with
fellow apprentice Irad Ortiz, Jr. for the inner track meet lead with six
victories after three days.
Curatolo, 19, swept races 2 through 5 on the Aqueduct card, with
Awesome Arceno ($5.60), Brooklyn Red ($4.20), Warrior Marie ($8.20), and
Schillerette ($13.40) providing the horsepower.
“It was great,” said Curatolo. “The horses were
running well. I was relaxed, the horses were relaxed, and they responded. The
trainers had them all ready to run. I just want to ride well and make the
people happy.”
It was the second time in his young career that the native of France won four races on a card, having also
done so May 21 at Belmont
Park.
