TORONTO, Canada, CMC – Two Barbadian jockeys at contrasting profession factors tasted victories on Thursday’s eight-race card at Woodbine.
Veteran rider Juan Crawford, 44, captured race 4 with 6-1 alternative Souper Cop, beating the three-year-old and upward maidens in a six-furlong dash.
In the meantime, inexperienced campaigner Desean Bynoe, 20, snatched race 5 over six furlongs with 19-1 outsider Contagiouslaughter, edging the two-year-old maiden fillies.
Crawford has gained 16 instances from 141 begins this season, whereas the 20-year-old Bynoe, higher identified for his current exploits at Century Mile since arriving in Canada two years in the past, has gained seven instances in 118 outings.
Legendary Barbadian Patrick Husbands is the highest-placed Caribbean rider with 45 wins from 220 rides, effectively adrift of chief Kazushi Kimura, who has posted 99 wins from 505 appearances.
Crawford’s win got here in a stalking experience when he tracked the chief Sugartap from third earlier than making an inside bid approaching the eighth pole with the four-year-old filly Souper Cop and holding effectively within the lane to achieve the wire 1-¼ lengths clear.
Bynoe, the youthful brother of Damario Bynoe, then flaunted all of his class, bringing the brown filly Contagiouslaughter with a flying late run from the again of the sphere to rise up by half-length.
Ridden by one other Barbadian, Keveh Nicholls, Zodiac Seashore narrowly missed out in second.
