Edwin Escobedo, Jason Olmstead are Lip Chip Jockey and Trainer of Week for 5-2 to 5-5

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—MAY 8, 2024–Edwin Escobedo and Jason Olmstead proved tough to beat on the racetrack this past week and by virtue of their dominant statistics earned Lip Chip Jockey and Trainer of the Week for May 2-5.

Neither horseman had a jockey or trainer within three victories of the number of wins they compiled for the week. Escobedo made seven trips to the winner’s circle, six of those for Olmstead, of Pryor, Okla. They combined last year at Remington Park to win the rider title while the trainer won the most Quarter Horse races and repeated as the top trainer in the country the past couple of years by wins.

Escobedo’s big week, which included one night where he wore a path to the winner’s circle with four of those seven wins, pushed him into a tie for first place in the jockeys’ standings. He is deadlocked with Ali Rivera and Roman Cruz, .. Read More
