Barbadian horsemen continued to do well in North America, as jockeys Keveh Nicholls and Christopher Husbands were victorious in Toronto, while trainer Saffie Joseph Jr won in Florida on Thursday.
At Woodbine Race Track, where the season will end today, Nicholls won the opener when he guided home two-year-old brown filly Breathing Fire in an Optional Claiming six-furlong race by two and a quarter lengths in one minute, 11.07 seconds.
