There's a new sheriff in town. His name is Paco Lopez. After riding his first professional race, less than two years ago, the Eclipse Award-winning apprentice is now a successful journeyman and has moved his tack to New York. On May 6, at Belmont Park, Lopez went 3-for-3 in the winner's circle.
If the ride he gave Drift King to beat odds on favorite in Belmont's the 3rd is any indication, Lopez is going to make his presence felt for a long time. Don't overlook him. It will cost you money.
