Charles Frederick showed his seven opponents a clean pair of heels on the way to striding away with the Right Excellent Bussa Handicap over 1100 metres at the Garrison Savannah on Saturday.

Favourite Jericho settled in second ahead of Pay As You Go and Halle Rose who raced as a pair in third and fourth position.

Charles Frederick never stopped running and swung into the homestretch with a one length advantage over Jericho. The latter failed to cut into Charles Frederick’s margin and settled for the runners-up spot. (LY)
