As was expected, the Rohit Dube trained colt Big Man, impressively won the feature Royal Colours Classic over 1500 metres by 2 1/2 lengths, yesterday.The Jairaj Ramlal owned thoroughbred enhanced its classic reputation, when he strolled home ahead of Right To Rule in the $125,000 purse event.
Nobel Abrego had the 2/5 favourite tracking the early pace however, with 500 metres left, Abrego allowed Big Man to join the leader Heidi's Tzippi, as Right To Rule moved menacingly into third.
In the final 300 metres the Triple Crown aspirant, Big Man, cruised away from his rivals, to win eased down in the time of 1:20.3. Right To Rule ran on strongly for second to beat Heidi's Tzippi with Run Ron in fourth position.
Maniram "Boboy" Maharaj came back to form when he landed two winners on the nine race card.
Maharaj entered the winner's circle with The Golden Flight and Sian's Gold flop, Fly Junior.
Maharaj and Michael Carew Jr were the top trainers of the day saddling two winners each.
Riding honours for the day were shared among Emile Ramsammy, Dillon Khelawan and Nobel Abrego.
