Built won Race 9 at Saratoga Race Course on July 25, taking a $400,000 stakes race at 6 furlongs on dirt as jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. recorded his sixth victory of the day and tied the all-time Saratoga single-day record.

The New York Racing Association race page listed Built first in the result summary, followed by Hymn in second and Damon’s Mound in third. The winning connections were jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., trainer Wayne M. Catalano, owner Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, and breeder Robert Low & Lawana Low.

The race was scheduled for 5:17 p.m. and was restricted to horses four years old and upward. NYRA also listed the race under HISA medication rules, noting: “Lasix not allowed within 48 hours of post time pursuant to HISA Rule 4212.” The race closed July 11 with 17 original nominations and two supplements.

For bettors, the posted payouts included $4.40 to win on Built, while the $1 Exacta returned $7.26, the $0.50 Trifecta paid $7.18, and the $0.10 Superfecta returned $6.83. Multi-race payouts on the page included $41.08 for the $1 Pick 3, $149.29 for the $0.50 Pick 4, and $1,423.12 for the $0.50 Pick 5.

A banner on the Saratoga page highlighted Ortiz’s milestone: “Congratulations to jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr., winner of six races on Saturday — tying the all-time Saratoga single day record.”

For Saratoga followers, the result stands out both as a stakes-race outcome and as part of a notable day for one of New York racing’s top jockeys. Readers looking for additional details can find the replay and full wagering results on the NYRA race page.
