The Kenneth DeSilva Jr-trained Nominee scored a minor upset in yesterday's feature for horses rated 90-70 over 1350 metres on the main track at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
Nominee was brought with a well-timed run by Ryan Hasranah to catch and beat favourite King Whistler and second favourite Loan Shark.Going to the far turn Loan Shark and King Whistler separated themselves from Officer Ike with Nominee making ground towards the leaders. When the horses swung for home, King Whistler still held sway but was being strongly challenged by Loan Shark.
With 200 metres left Hasranah and Nominee were closing fast and they assumed command in the final 50 metres, to win by 1 1/4 lengths. Nominee recorded the time of 1.23:0 for the trip.
Emile Ramsammy continued his winning ways riding three winners, Black Genius, Satya Treasure and Lookin At Lovely.Training honours for the day was shared between John O'Brien and Terrance Thomas, who both saddled two winners.Racing continues next week at the centralized venue.
