Jockey Edgard Zayas continued to win races in bunches Thursday at Gulfstream Park. Zayas, who rode four winners on Saturday’s program, won another five races Thursday to push his Royal Plan Meet-leading victory total to 27.

Zayas rode back-to-back winners for trainer Joe Orseno, scoring aboard Magic Soul ($7) in Race 3 and Super Spin ($20.80) in Race 4. He also doubled for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. with back-to-back wins aboard Lady O’Brien ($2.60) in Race 6 and Goats On a Tree ($5) in Race 7. He finished his big day with a gate-to-wire score aboard Live High Live Low ($9.40) in Race 8 for trainer George Weaver.

The popular jockey wasn’t counting on another big day.

“It felt like a normal day, but thankfully the horses ran good for me. Everyday we’ve been riding a lot of live mounts,” Zayas said. “I have the right horses and the right support behind me. Hopefully, it will be a big year.”
