Grening: Jose Ortiz will try to add the Belmont fall riding title to his list of accomplishments in 2016, which include his first riding titles at Saratoga and Belmont’s spring-summer meet as well as the Aqueduct winter and spring riding titles.
However, both he and his brother Irad Ortiz Jr. will be serving careless-riding suspensions to start the meet. Jose Ortiz will make his Belmont debut next Wednesday, Irad on Sept. 16.
