EXPERIENCED JOCKEY Rickey Walcott enjoyed a pleasant steal at the Garrison Savannah yesterday.

Walcott triumphed in the feature 1 800 metres St Ann’s Garrison Handicap with the Jean-marc Cozier owned and trained filly Stolen on the Barbados Turf Club’s Historic Bridgetown and Its Garrison Raceday.

Walcott and Stolen turned the tables on the favourite Spartacus with jockey Anderson Trotman the pair that defeated them the last time they met over the distance. Walcott also took the Chamberlain Bridge Handicap, courtesy another front-running ride astride favourite San Souci.

Rasheed Hughes was the day’s most successful rider, winning three races on Burbon Street, Katrara and Siavonga. Jarelle Beckles rode a brace astride Won Grand and Carbon Copy. Beckles gave trainer Anderson Ward a double as he also won with Pay As You Go. (LY)
