Atlantic Convoy and Fearless Soul win divided feature at Caymanas Park

Report by RJRGLEANER Group Sports Reporter Spencer Darlington

Atlantic Convoy and Fearless Soul prevailed in the 20th running of the divided Arthur Jones Memorial Cup, the feature event over 6 furlongs on Saturday's 10-race card at Caymanas Park.

The Reyan Lewis-ridden and Patrick "Wacky" Lynch-trained Atlantic Convoy who went off at 3-1, battled briefly with the 4-5 favourite Sensational Move in the home stretch before taking over with a furlong to go in Division 1. Atlantic Convoy returned 1:13.4 a minute, for the trip to win by 4 and a half lengths.

Over in Division 2, the 5-2 shot Fearless Soul produced a terrific late burst to land the major share. The 4 year old chestnut colt was ridden to victory by Paul "Country" Francis for 14-time former champion trainer Phillip Feanny. Fearless Soul covered the distance in 1:14.3.

Elsewhere on the programme, visiting Panamanian jockey Victor Sanchez recorded his first victory in Jamaica from his very first ride after guiding home the 7-5 second choice Rosetta for champion trainer Jason DaCosta in the 4th running of the Caymanas Park 1959 Trophy for native bred and imported 3 year olds over a mile.

Meanwhile, inform apprentice Shane Richardson piloted the Errol Waugh-trained Antartica to 6-1 mild upset victory in the Caymanas Park 65th Anniversary Trophy over 7 furlongs. That win closed out a double for Richardson on the programme.
 
Leading rider Tevin Foster also secured a double to move his tally for the season to 86 wins, six clear of Raddesh Roman in the race for the jockeys' championship. Champion jockey Reyan Lewis also had a double on the card.

Racing continues next Saturday.
