Lucy ‘lures’ them in Caymanas Tues 9th – 400 winners for Anthony Thomas

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Leading and co-champion jockey Anthony Thomas achieved the significant milestone of 400 winners when he partnered Lure of Lucy to victory in the Caymanas Tuesday ninth – Division Two of the Errol Subratie Memorial Trophy.

Run over a mile for horses in the category of Overnight Allowance, Lure of Lucy trained by Jason DaCosta was winning for the fourth time from seven starts. This was her first attempt in this grade.

The imported three-year-old filly was held in second as the old boy in the lot Superluminal (Omar Walker), as is usually the case, set the early splits. Following behind Lure of Lucy were Excessive Force (Oneil Mullings); One Don (Robert Halledeen) and Go Deh Girl (Tevin Foster).

Passing the four-furlong marker, Lure of Lucy started to harass Superluminal, with the latter not in a giving up mood.

Going into the lane, Lure of Lucy took over as Go Deh Girl came along as the main challenger.

There was a brief tussle between the two but soon Lure of Lucy found her best stride to win by 1 ½ lengths.

Go Deh Girl was second and One Don third.

Of note is the fact that the first four horses past the post in this contest were all bred in the USA.
