Raddesh Roman rode five winners at Caymanas Park on Saturday, including completing a hat-trick of wins with United States-bred MAJOR DANGER in the seven-furlong Thunderbird for open-allowance runners.
Roman’s five-timer chopped Tevin Foster’s lead atop the jockeys’ standings to two winners after the leading rider had booted home a four-timer the previous Saturday to give himself breathing room in the battle for the 2024 title.
Roman first made all with Philip Feanny’s three-year-old, UNBELIEVABLE FORCE, in the second event at seven and a half furlongs, pacing the United States-bred filly before sprinting clear in the stretch for her third win from five starts.
Returning to rule the programme from the sixth event, Roman made all with FAITH DOWNIE to beat three-year-old maiden fillies at five and a half furlongs on her third start.
In the seventh, Roman enjoyed an armchair ride as United States-bred PACK PLAYS made light of work of overnight-allowance runners on his first start locally at six and a half furlongs.
PACK PLAYS posted a time of 1:17.3, an ominous warning — whether based locally, in quarantine, or yet to arrive—for December's US$250,000 Mouttet Mile.
Roman closed a two-timer for Feanny with MAJOR DANGER, tracking local-bred SENSATIONAL MOVE into the straight before taking over approaching the furlong pole to complete a hat-trick of wins since fitted with blinkers.
Roman closed the card with JAMES at seven furlongs, producing the Sensational Slam-Crown Princess colt late to grab SHE’S MYHEDGEFUND stealing home under visiting Panamanian Victor Sanchez in the nightpan.
Racing continues at the weekend with a Saturday-Sunday meet to close September.
