In an exhilarating end, Digital One, educated by Gary Subratie, capitalised on a pace duel between California Crown and Bootylicious to win the $1.75-million Supreme Ventures Racing and Leisure Restricted (SVREL) Eighth Anniversary Trophy characteristic at Caymanas Park on Saturday.
Ridden by Dane Dawkins, the four-year-old bay filly Digital One made a shocking comeback from off the tempo to win the Graded Stakes/Open Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward over 5 and a half furlongs (1,100m) by 5 and a half lengths. Making her seasonal debut, Digital One stopped the clock in 1:06.0 (22.4 x 47.1 x 59.3) minutes.
Digital One was effectively positioned in third place navigating the half-mile flip (800m), biding her time behind duelling leaders California Crown and Bootylicious, however because the leaders got here off the flip, Digital One noticed her likelihood. Whereas California Crown and Bootylicious drifted large, Digital One hugged the within rails, sustaining a laser-straight course by to the wire.
Coach Anthony Nunes saddled three winners on the nine-race card. He gained with Brahma Bull (Tevin Foster) within the fourth race, Golden Syrup (Shane Richardson) within the sixth race, and Good Trick (Shane Ellis) within the ninth and closing occasion.
Racing continues on Saturday.
