Husbands’ sizzling form continues

TORONTO, Canada – Veteran Barbadian jockey Patrick Husbands maintained his imperious added-money form at Woodbine on Saturday, sweeping both feature races on the 11-race card in front-running style.

The seven-time champion first partnered with hot favourite Owlette to win the CAN$100 000 Victorian Queen Stakes in race seven, and then returned in race nine with 4-1 choice Jean Elizabeth to capture the $100 000 Sweet Briar Stakes

With the success, the 46-year-old Husbands moved his stakes tally for the season to 15 – the most by any rider during the campaign. He lies fifth on 51 wins in the jockeys’ standings with earnings of $2.5 million.

Husbands opened his account in a six-furlong trip with the bay filly Owelette, trouncing the two-year-old fillies by 2-½ lengths in a time of one minute, 10.10 seconds, to land a record fifth Victorian Queen Stakes.

Owelette set a brisk pace, hauling the field through sharp splits of 22.24 seconds for the quarter and 45.51 for the half, with Victorian Moon right alongside on the outside and a gap of two lengths back to She’s a Dream and Bambarra Bay.

really ? whaddabout Dos Ramos and that Ramsammy ?

Richard Dos Ramos receive the good news : he was at home, recovering from an injury suffered on the second day
of racing at Woodbine racetrack this spring, when John Whitson (mapoui racist), vice-president
of thoroughbred racing at Woodbine told him he had just won :
the Avelino Gomez Memorial Award, given to riders who have made significant contributions to horse racing in Canada.

It's an honour given to elite riders who have attachments to Canada

Emile Ramsammy is a low-key kind of guy with a musical name and plenty of polish as a jockey.

Apparently, it works for him. On Wednesday, he was chosen the winner of the Avelino Gomez Award

named after a gregarious Cuban-born rider who died of complications after a three-horse accident in the 1980 Canadian Oaks.

The award is presented each year on the day of the Oaks to a Canadian rider
that has made significant contributions to the sport.

Ramsammy ? He's won two Queen's Plates, with Victor Cooley in 1996 and Edenwold in 2006.

He was won Sovereign awards as Canada's top rider in 1996 and 1997.( mapoui racsit and dem)
