A dynamic display of horsemanship unfolded across a ten-race card, highlighted by multiple riding triumphs and a dominant stable performance. Champion jockey Dane Dawkins and top rider Tevin Foster each secured a riding triple, while conditioner Peter-John Parsard saddled a stable triple in a showcase of racing excellence.
The day’s action commenced with US-bred Olivia D’Oro (7-5), expertly piloted by Dawkins, securing a hard-fought victory in the seven-furlong maiden event. The three-year-old filly repelled a sustained challenge from the heavily favored Unbelievable Power to win by one and a half lengths, initiating a successful day for both jockey and trainer.
Dawkins’ prowess was further demonstrated aboard Emperorofthecats (5-1), who triumphed under challenging conditions of torrential rain and limited visibility in the seventh event. The veteran campaigner’s victory marked his 19th career win from 41 appearances. The jockey sealed his impressive four-timer in the featured Gregory Park Sprint, guiding Money Market (9-2) to a near three-length victory over speedy front-runner She’s That Girl.
Tevin Foster, narrowly missing the 2024 championship by just one winner, answered with a triple of his own. He opened his account with certainty Sudden Flight (3-5), an eight-year-old gelding who dominated the five-furlong straight gallop by over five lengths. Foster continued his success with Princess Fianie (9-5), securing a nose victory in race five, and closed his triple with maiden colt Greyt Magnum (7-1), who won comfortably by four lengths.
The training accolades were distributed among several conditioners. Ray Phillips earned the Training Feat Award for Greyt Magnum’s impressive development, while the Best Winning Gallop was executed by Adira, with Foster receiving the Jockeyship Award for his guidance of the five-year-old mare to her second career victory.
