The 25-year-old rider won the final four races on the nine-race card to give the Albany resident 13 victories so far this year at GP Downs. Beckner has more than doubled her closest jockey competition after the sixth-day of the 22-day racing season. Three other jockeys — Tad Skaggs, Richard Sanchez and Marijo Terleski — are tied for second with six wins each. Beckner began her streak aboard Maggie’s Night Out in a $2,500 claimer going 6½ furlongs. Next she won a 350-yard quarterhorse race with Payday Hope and finished with wins on thoroughbreds Pretty Soon Now and Amescua. Beckner, who registered her 400th win at Portland Meadows in February, has finished first or second in the jockey standings the past four years at GP Downs. She has been a licensed jockey for less than 10 years. Sanchez was the only other jockey to register multiple wins Saturday. Sanchez was victorious in the day’s opening race with Spice Chick and doubled riding Rio Neata in the fourth. Both were thoroughbred claiming races going 5½ furlongs. Today’s nine-race card beginning at 1 p.m. features the $3,500-added H.B.P.A. Stakes for 3-year-old thoroughbreds at 5½ furlongs. Saturday’s Results FIRST RACE TB Mdn Clm, 5½ F. 1, Spice Chick (R.
