It took a great ride by young apprentice, Nigel Flavenney and a good run up the rail to take the feature event for horses rated 85-65 over 1,200 metres on the main track from Officer Ike, yesterday at Santa Rosa Park in Arima. The 7-1 shot, trained by Chester Roberts, was always in the van but got a let in on the rail coming to the corner and made the best of it. At the comer, the pacesetting Treasure Hunt dropped away tamely, as Officer Ike and Slippery Sam made their move for the lead. Raging Thunder got a run on the inside, as Northern Hills began his challenge with favourite Becquerel making no progress.
In the final 200 metres, Officer Ike had to give way to Raging Thunder, who was driven past to settle the issue by a length. Northern Hills stayed on for third with Slippery Sam in fourth position. The winner recorded the time of 1:13.00 for the trip. Racing honour for the day fell to trainer Derick Mosca, who saddled three winners-Consideritdone, Chief's Nephew and Dream House. The day's most successful jockey was Freddie Manrrique, who rode two winners. Racing continues next Saturday.
