KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jockey Dane Nelson continued his dream return to race riding at Caymanas Park when he took a non-traditional route down the five straight on the David Powell trained Classy Vishala to land the fifth race to complete a rousing triple from five races as the Diamond Mile first race day moves into full swing at Caymanas Park.
Drawn at three in a Restricted Allowance V for five-year-olds and upwards, Nelson instead of moving to the middle of the racetrack decided to take the inside rails, and got Classy Vishala going at her top pace before going on to win by 1 ½ lengths.
Second went to Mount Zion King (Omar Walker 10-1) with the third slot being occupied by Struck By Grace ridden by Robert Halledeen.
