Jamaican rider Rajiv Maragh scored three wins Thursday and moved into second spot in the Aqueduct jockeys' championship race just three days before the winter/spring season ends.

In-form Maragh piloted the third, sixth and seventh-race winners for seven wins in the last three racedays, boosting his log of wins for the season to 68, two ahead of third-positioned Charles Lopez (66).

Runaway leader and champion designate Ramon Dominguez has 137 wins after scoring one victory on Thursday. The season ends tomorrow.
