Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Monday at 05:17 PM Journalists Share Posted Monday at 05:17 PM Luan Machado secured his second straight riding title–and fifth overall–at Turfway Park's Winter/Spring Meet, which concluded Saturday. Mike Maker earned his record-extending 24th trainer's title at the Florence, Kentucky oval. Machado finished the meet with 51 wins from 277 starts and more than $2.5 million in purse earnings. “It was a great meet,” Machado said. “I'm so thankful for everyone who's helped support me to get to this point. My agent Cory [Prewitt] has worked hard to keep our business going strong. There were so many people on the backside that made this possible and I'm very thankful for all of them.” Apprentice Irving Moncada delivered an impressive showing with 42 victories from 246 mounts to finish second in the standings, followed by Joe Ramos (40), Adam Beschizza (26) and Gerardo Corrales (25). Maker won 19 races from 94 starts, followed by Kelsey Danner with 17 wins from 83 starts and John Ennis with 15 wins. Godolphin edged Elliott Logan's TEC Racing with eight wins from 37 starts to be the meet's leading owner.
