CHARLES TOWN, West Virginia, CMC – Established Barbadian reinsman Reshawn Latchman maintained his place within the prime echelons of the jockeys’ colony on the Charles City race monitor in the USA with a double on the eight-race card on Saturday.
The 31-year-old now has 72 wins for the season, which opened on January 4 and closes on December 16, and he’s third within the standings behind Arnaldo Bocachica, on 158, and Marshall Mendez, on 104.
Latchman opened the day’s racing with a cushty five-length win aboard the 4-5 favourite Royal Mahogany within the U.S. $11 800 first race over 900 meters on the dust monitor.
Royal Mahogany broke awkwardly and lunged outward into the trail of a rival, then accelerated to the entrance approaching the three-eighths pole. Nonetheless, Latchman obtained the four-year-old darkish bay gelding to get better, and draw clear previous the five-sixteenths pole, widened on the rail on the flip and was ridden out below a hand journey to clock 52.13 seconds, solely 2.04 secs off the monitor document.
Latchman later scored a one 1/4-length win on the 6-5 favourite Gold Fiber within the U.S. $28 400 sixth race over 900 meters on the dust monitor.
Gold Fiber took a lead early within the dash, and the three-year-old, darkish bay gelding set a pressured tempo and by no means relinquished the benefit to complete in 51.97, only one.88 of the monitor document.
