Jockey Drayden Van Dyke and Flavien Prat are first and second in the jockey standings with 28 and 25 wins. A day like Friday could play an important role in who wins the title. 

Both riders have live mounts through the second through eighth races this afternoon.

In the upcoming second race, Van Dyke rides the speedy Okinawa (3), who is 1-2 in early betting. She seems to need the lead to be effective. Prat rides Painting Corners (7). The race is an allowance race with a $62,500 claiming option at five furlongs on turf.

Van Dyke has a chance to put distance on Prat on Saturday. Prat is serving the final day of a suspension and does not have any mounts.
