Teniente Coronel made feature look very easy

Always cruising behind leader Whisper Light, champion jockey Ronald “Tiger” Ali asked the Harriram “Pepsi” Gobin-trained for his effort 400 metres out and he simply scooted clear to win by a massive 11 1/4 lengths.

Champion sprinter Control Unit, despite having three kilo claimer Omar Mohammed up to lessen his 60 kilos burden, failed to make an impression in the race and finished fourth of five.

Both ali and Wilmer Galviz shared riding honours, landing two winners apiece.

But no trainer managed saddling more than one winner on the day’s eight-race programme.

The day saw its fair share of upsets, with the biggest being when Sling Shot won to reward backers with $16.70 and $5.05 on the tote, and Star Pharoah backers got $12.65 and $3.35 on their tote wagers.

Turfites had to wait for the final race to csh in on the Hi5 which paid a most handwome $5,215.40.
