The John O'Brien trained Lord Sil­ver made every pole a win­ning one in tak­ing yes­ter­day's fea­ture event which had a purse of $51,000 at stake in the 1,600 me­tres run on the Turf Course at San­ta Rosa Park, Ari­ma yes­ter­day.

Sent off at 7/1 by pun­ters, Keiran Raza­ck wast­ed lit­tle time in get­ting him to the head of the af­fairs. Go­ing down the back-straight Lord Sil­ver skipped four lengths clear of joint-favourites Howsweeti­tis and Root of Jesse.

These were fol­lowed by Mag­i­cal Vic­to­ry, Tri­ni Nav­i­ga­tor, Sea of Gdan­sk with Buf­fa­lo Sol­dier con­tent­ed to ob­serve from the back.

At the far turn, Lord Sil­ver still held sway as Howsweeti­tis and Root of Jesse be­gan to press the pace. This con­tin­ued in­to the straight with Lord Sil­ver giv­ing no quar­ter or ask­ing for none. In­side the fi­nal 200 me­tres, Lord Sil­ver would not be de­nied and kept on tena­cious­ly for a great win by 3/4 lengths.

Howsweeti­tis was 1/2 a length back in third. The win­ner record­ed the time of 1:37.47 for the trip.

How­ev­er, the day be­longed to train­er Glenn Mendez who sad­dled five win­ners on the eight-race card. Mendez was on the ball with Rant N Rave in the open­er, then he fol­lowed up in the fourth with Straight­tothe­p­oint. He pro­ceed­ed to land his third win­ner with Lom­bard Street. Be­fore land­ing Man of To­mor­row. He then closed the day with Streak­ing Far in the fi­nale. The day's lead­ing rid­er was Ricky Jadoo who rode three win­ners for Mendez.

Train­er O'Brien in­tro­duced a very good colt in the sec­ond event when Apoc­a­lypse stormed home on de­but by nine lengths with jock­ey No­bel Abrego.

Rac­ing takes a break next week.
