KINGSTON, Jamaica – Hot 3-5 odds on favourite Milkman, a three-year-old grey gelding by Blue Pepsi Lodge – You Can’t Hide, easily took home the second of 11 races on the Saturday programme now taking place at the home of horse racing in Jamaica, Caymanas Park.
Milkman (Robert Halledeen) went straight to the lead (5 furlongs round) when the starter let them go in the maiden condition event for three-year-old– colts and geldings and was never headed.
Butseeyah (Shane Ellis – 5-2) tried his best but Milkman had too much to offer winning by 2 ½ lengths.
The win by Milkman gave the rejuvenated stables of trainer Richard Azan another winner – 15th of the year.
Jockey Robert Halledeen who recently joined the Azan barn was winning his 33rd race of the year.
