TORONTO – Veteran Barbadian jockey Patrick Husbands capped off another successful season at Woodbine racetrack when he paired with Vanzzy to win the feature CAN$100 000 Display Stakes last weekend and finish with a meet-leading 21 added-money wins.

The 46-year-old, one of Canada’s most successful jockeys, carried the colt gate-to-wire to win by half-length in a time of one minute, 45.90 seconds.

The event for two-year-olds covered a mile and sixteenth in snowy conditions on Saturday’s penultimate day of the campaign.

The race – the third on the 12-race card – proved to be the last of the day as officials were forced to cancel the remaining races due to heavy snow. (CMC)
