Cordmaker won the $100,000, 1 1/8 mile Richard W. Small Stakes at Laurel on Nov. 27.
Cordmaker, a 6-year-old gelding, settled near the pace, swung four wide entering the stretch, took control in mid stretch and was geared down to win by 1 3/4 lengths.
Cordmaker now has 11 wins, four seconds and seven thirds from 33 starts and $734,640 in earnings.
"He's a nice horse," said Jenkins. "He's easy to get along with and easy to train. I think there's another MATCH race coming up, so we may run him back in the MATCH series."
"Winter's coming, so we're gearing down," said Jenkins. "We have 17 in the barn now."
