The John O'Brien-trained, American bred three-year-old colt, Ignition Coil showed that he has improved tremendously over the past month by turning the table on Gabby's Wonderboy, in yesterday's feature event over 1,350 metres at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. Always in front, Brian Boodramsing sent the SIR owned colt for home 500 metres from the finish and the son of Sir Shackleton/Circular Reasoning ran out a ready winner by 4 1/2 lengths. The Derick Mosca trained Gabby's Wonderboy was again the bridesmaid, making it three second placed finishes in his last four starts, as racing on the fourth day of the Arima Race Club (ARC) racing season continued. Boodramsing rode a confident race on the favourite Ignition Coil. He had Ignition Coil at the head of affairs early and never relinquished the lead.
However, when the Shivam Maharaj-owned Gabby's Wonder Boy came to challenge the colt at the corner, the crowd at Santa Rosa Park, shouted their approval but Ignition Coil had other ideas. Ignition Coil kept up the gallop and found another gear to keep Gabby's WonderBoy at bay. Big Boy Jordan finished third with Curfew Breaker fourth. Training honours for the day went to champion trainer O'Brien, who saddled four winners. Riding honour went to Boodramsing, who rode four winners-Ignition Coil, Fleet Admiral, Piston and Rings and Lawbreaker. Racing continues next week.
