Jordon Reign’s goes all the way

JORDON REIGN’s, third in the 2022 Mouttet Mile, used his back class to make a mockery of the conditions book, needing only last-furlong reminders to go all the way in yesterday’s overnight-allowance at five furlongs straight.

Reporting off a near seven-month lay-up from open-allowance company, placing fourth behind stablemate MAHOGANY last October, JORDON REIGN’S benefitted from a conditions-book class drop, lining up against struggling overnight-allowance runners.

The United States-bred six-year-old gelding broke sharply with leading rider Tevin Foster, pressed by 19-1 outsider POSING ALREADY, whose challenge he brushed aside before being ridden out to hold improved K P CHOICE at bay by a length and a half at the wire.

Leading rider Tevin Foster was aboard JORDON REIGN’s, the 4-5 favourite, who won in 1:00.1, his first victory since completing four consecutive wins in August 2022.

Champion jockey Reyan Lewis booted home two winners, WILSON and UNDISCLOSDLOCATION, Anthony Nunes’ three-year-old debutant, who upstaged stablemate TRUST FUND BABY in the fifth at five furlongs straight.

Champion trainer Jason DaCosta’s CALIFORNIA CROWN won the seven-furlong Monday Morning Trophy to remain unbeaten in two starts, taking over from the filly AMMA coming off the home turn, strengthening his 2000 Guineas credentials in 1:28.2.

Female rider Abigail Able closed a double DaCosta, sneaking past rivals along the rail to aboard 5-2 chance BROWN SKIN GIRL to outfinish WHIZZ KIDD at nine furlongs and 25 yards.

Racing continues on Thursday with the Labour Day meet, featuring a Reggae 6 mandatory payout expected to reach $30 million at off-time.
