KINGSTON, Jamaica – It was as close as it could possibly be in today’s (July 5) ninth race.
In a finish for the ages, Top Shelf with Anthony Thomas in the saddle and Enuffisenuff with Omar Walker replacing Dane Nelson fought out the 'mother of all finishes' in a Restricted Allowance contest for four-year-olds and upwards run over 5 ½ furlongs.
Top Shelf took over the lead with a furlong to go but Walker after navigating some traffic issues in the early portion of the straight brought Enuffisenuff with a scorching run and just failed by literally a hair to gain victory. The official distance was listed as a nose.
Sir Kel was 4 ½ lengths behind in third.
Top Shelf who clocked a time of 1:06.4, completed a triple for Thomas and a double for trainer Wayne DaCosta.
