KINGSTON, Jamaica – The lone foreigner in the field of five runners, Runaway Algo convincingly dispatched local rivals to win the Caymanas Saturday (March 12) second.

With Shane Ellis in the saddle for trainer Dale Murphy, Runaway Algo shot to the lead when the starter let them go followed by the 2-5 favourite Brinks (Omar Walker) and Deezi (Anthony Thomas).
Runaway Algo was easy on the lead when entering the straight with Brinks, Press Conference (Paul Francis), and Deezi following.
