Clermont County returned to winning ways in yesterday's feature event over 1,200 metres on Day 13 of the Arima Race Club (ARC) racing season at Santa Rosa Park.Sent off at 1/1 odds, the Shaffique Khan trained colt quickened clear under Prayven Badrie to win going away by 1 3/4 lengths.
Favourite Coroneo was always tracking the leader Slewjero and Clermont County but had no answer when Clermont County sped away at the corner to put the race to bed. Slewjero rallied to get second with Coroneo well beaten in third.Clermont County registered the win in a time of 1:11.1.
Riding honours went to Badrie, who rode three winners while training honours went to Glenn Mendez, who saddled three winners including Sea Gold, Scotus and Swept Away.
Due to delays caused by horses falling in races two and six, the final race of the day was cancelled due to failing light and the refusal of jockeys to ride.Racing continues on Saturday.
