Five-time leading trainer Robertino Diodoro served notice he’s going for another title by winning five races, including the $30,000 Bienvenidos Stakes on Saturday’s rain-drenched opening day of the new race meet at Turf Paradise.
Wasting no time, Diodoro took the first race with prohibitive favorite Jonny’s Choice ($2.40) with Glenn Corbett aboard for the nearly 5 ½ length victory over the sloppy going.
Diodoro, Corbett and owner Charles Garvey then teamed up winning three consecutive races with Charleys Eddy ($3.20) in the fourth race, then following with Bank Walker ($2.10) in the fifth with Francisco Arrieta and Awesome ($3.20) in the sixth with David Lopez up.
Diodoro and Arrieta capped off the five wins from eight starts day by winning the Bienvenidos Stakes with Izzy the Warrior ($7.20). Diodoro’s Bourbon Cowboy finished second to complete the exacta.
