KINGSTON, Jamaica – Staying along the stand rails for most of the five-furlong straight event, jockey Abigail Able got the job done on Mr Ambassador for trainer Marlon Anderson in the Caymanas Saturday sixth.
Mr Ambassador’s 12th win from 76 career starts was achieved in a three-year-old and upwards Claiming contest ($550,000 - $450,000).
From the start, Able had Mr Ambassador in a prominent position with the likes Father Riel and others nearby.
On the main track, Mr Ambassador accelerated while moving even closer to the outside, and when there he found extra to win comfortably by 4 ½ lengths.
Second was Armageddon (Anthony Thomas) with Lala Diva (Paul Francis) third.
Mr Ambassador was the fourth winner this year for Able while it was win number two for trainer Anderson.
