KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jockey Anthony Thomas rode his second winner on the day aboard the Gary Griffiths conditioned Turnonthelight in the Caymanas Saturday sixth.
Racing over the five straight course in a three-year-old maiden contest, Turnonthelight, drawn on the outside was not the best away when the starter pressed his go button but Thomas was able to straighten the filly moving more to the centre of the race track.
Tina’s Account drawn widest of all with Chris Mamdeen set the early splits and with two furlongs to go held the lead and was looking good.
That was when Thomas changed his hold and put his whip into his left hand to get Turnonthelight in top gear, and the filly went by close home to notch victory number one by a neck.
Tina’s Account was second and Press Conference third.
