‘My Dreams Are Getting Bigger’: Om N Joy Gives Trainer Aggie Ordonez First Del Mar Stakes Win<\/a> originally appeared on Paulick Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Om N Joy, the favorite in a field of 10 sophomore California-bred fillies, got a first-rate trip and ride from Hall of Famer Kent Desormeaux and proved best by 4 1\/4 lengths at the end of the seven-furlong Fleet Treat Stakes on Friday evening at Del Mar..<\/p>\n

It was the fourth consecutive win \u2013 and third straight stakes \u2013 for the 3-year-old daughter of Om and her final time was 1:23.23. She paid $7.60 to her backers.<\/p>\n

Finishing second was Richard Barton\u2019s Hot Girl Walk, who was one and a half lengths ahead of Out of the Blue Stables\u2019 Lady Mendelssohn.<\/p>\n

The winner is trained by Aggie Ordonez, who was winning her first stakes at Del Mar. Conversely, Desormeaux was winning his 90th. Om N Joy, bred in California by Jerry and Connie Baker, races for her breeders, along with Michael Golovko and Terrence Scanlan.<\/p>\n

“The break is a big deal for her,” said Ordonez. “She\u2019s broken poorly a couple of times. When she got out of the gate clean, I took a sigh of relief. Then you look at Kent (Desormeaux). He was so relaxed and patient and he made me comfortable. Then she just gobbled them up in the turn. I want to find the easiest spots for her and keep doing what we\u2019re doing. But I\u2019m dreaming, my dreams are getting bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The savvy rider sensed the early pace (:21.86 and :44.69) was far too quick and merely sat mid-pack while saving ground along the rail. When the turn for home loomed up, the Cajun veteran put his charge in gear and she responded readily.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like I was going 44 (mph). She just continues to improve. She was an amazing appearance last time. I didn\u2019t know she was that good, but she is. She is just that good. I\u2019m the lucky pilot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Om N Joy picked up a first prize of $85,500 from the total purse of $152,000. She now boasts earnings of $311,140.<\/p>\n

Racing resumes at Del Mar Saturday with a first post of 2 p.m. There are three stakes “<\/p>\n
