There were sighs of relief as Laurel Park resumed racing and horsemen praised what they say is an improving dirt racing strip.
Jockey Johan Rosado started the new year in style, winning four races at Laurel Park Friday.
Apprentice rider Johan Rosado, plying his trade at Delaware Park and the Mid-Atlantic, has a pretty good teacher: his dad, the 1997 Eclipse winner as top apprentice.
Between them, jockeys Roberto Rosado and his son Johan have 898 career wins. Roberto has 897 and, after defeating his old man Sunday, Johan has one.
