It was then that Jockey Ramnauth using his vast experience and skill started to urge his charge to full throttle as it accelerated enough to edge home for the upset win ahead of Home Bush Baby, Who is On the Case and The Clever cat.
It was a day that saw the return to prominence of the Jagdeo stable with two wins to take the top stable award.
The very competitive 4 year old 1200M event saw Better that Gold of the Jagdeo stable being skillfully ridden by Ramnauth return with a bang after a long layoff to eke out a victory by a nose over Swing Easy as Sabrina’s Joy and Technology closed out the top four for the $450,000 prize and Gajnabi trophy.

There was much celebration for the connection of the Elcock stable as the locally bred Celebration Time ridden by Winston Apadhu was a gate to pole victor in The H class 1200M race as it carted off the $220,000 money and the Lalgit trophy. In its trail were Appealing Harvest, Face the Fire and Royal Champion.

However during the day’s proceedings Kaieteur News was lauded for its coverage of Horseracing and its recognition of Horserace magnate, Senior Counsel Marcel Crawford as a special person.
