LIGHTWEIGHT JOCKEY Wesley 'Callaloo' Henry highlighted yesterday's Caymanas Park 11-race programme with three winners, including 5-2 chance NIJINSKY'S WAR in the Reca Trophy feature over 1400 metres.

Henry also won aboard 1-2 favourite PECKUS OUT for veteran trainer Alfred Wright in the second race and TUTOR at 5-2 for trainer Robert Darby Jr. in the closing straight five race to push his season's tally to 60 - six adrift of leading jockey Brian Harding who rode one winner in smart 3-y-o debutante YOSHI.

Henry, who had eight rides on the card, said he had been looking forward to a bigger haul, but was nevertheless satisfied with the way things turned out as he made inroads on the leader.

Good rides

"My agent Chungie secured some really good rides on the programme and I thought I would have ridden at least four winners," said the 31-year-old jockey.

"However, some of the horses ran below expectations, but I give thanks just the same ... I'm still in the race and that's what counts at this point in time," he said.

Henry had Harding on the receiving end in the Reca Trophy (claiming $290,000 - $260,000) feature, his mount NIJINSKY'S WAR disputing the lead with 8-1 chance ABILITY GIRL in the seven-strong field before coming through on the outside turning for home.

CORDITE, the 6-5 favourite with Harding up, was never far off the pace in third and although running on strongly from below the distance, failed by just over a length to peg back NIJINSKY'S WAR, who had to survive a Stewards' Inquiry for drifting out into the path of CORDITE in the last 100 metres.

Martin's first winner

A six-year-old bay gelding by Kammtarra out of Bacchanal, NIJINSKY'S WAR is co-owned by Carolyn and Victor Tennant, bred by Lakeland Farms and trained by Garrett Arscott, who has been doing pretty well with his string of horses in recent months.

On a day when the Gary Subratie-trained RHYMAT (4-1) won the opening 2-y-o supporting feature for the Keeling Memorial Cup over 1100 metres, 17-year-old Andre Martin became the ninth apprentice from the batch of 15 which recently graduated from the Jockeys' School to ride a winner.

Martin, the son of trainer Alvin Martin, booted home the Margaret Parchment-trained WEE GLITZ (5-2) in the fifth race over 1200 metres for maiden four-year-olds and up.

The youngster had previously been first past the post aboard MY PAL DON on August 5, only to suffer disqualification for causing interference at the home turn.
