KINGSTON, Jamaica – Leading trainer Anthony tightened the noose further on the trainer’s championship when Reassurance gave him his third straight winner on the Saturday card at Caymanas Park.
Reassurance racing in the slop with a change of rider from Reyan Lewis to Christopher Mamdeen came with a big burst in the final furlong to just get the job done over a dogged Cue Three under a determined ride from Samantha Fletcher.
Reassurance won at odds of 2-1, while Cue Three went off at 18-1. Third was the 2-1 chance, Concur.
This was the third winner thus far on the Saturday card for Nunes while Mamdeen was completing a double.
Reassurance won by a nose in a time of 1:31.0.
