Trainer Rigoberto Velasquez is in the midst of his finest season as a horse trainer.

Velasquez will look to add to that total in the 47th running of the $35,000 Portland Mile as he trains four of the ten nominees to the race.

Sportive blew up the tote board on Thursday as he rang in the New Year with a 22/1 upset in the $9,800 Crater Lake Handicap. Sportive ($46.40) was the sixth longest price in the field and sat a good trip in third early on, just behind dueling leaders Memphis Mobster and Johnski. Jockey Javier Matias angled Sportive to the outside as they came to the top of the stretch and they gradually wore down Johnski, getting up in the final strides to win by three quarters of a length. Johnski was second with Stoney River closing to finish third.
