Ramgeet wins twice at Tampa Bay Downs
published: Friday | January 11, 2008

TAMPA BAY, Florida:

Jamaican jockey Andrew Ramgeet maintained his steady form at Tampa Bay Downs with two wins Sunday afternoon.

The three-time Jamaica champion landed races one and seven to complete four wins in the last three race-days, lifting him to seventh in the jockeys' champion-ship standings with eight wins.

Daniel Centeno is the leading rider with 22 victories, five ahead of Carlos Montalvo (17).

In the US$8,600 first race over 6-1/2 furlongs, Ramgeet steered the four-year-old gelding Lawyer George to a front-running victory in 1:19.50.

Resolute

Going off as a 10-to-1 bet in the 12-horse field, Lawyer George showed good speed under Ramgeet and was resolute in deep stretch to hold on for a half-length victory, under pressure from the hot 6-5 favourite Golden Trend.

Ramgeet had an easier win astride the five-year-old gelding Awesome Attitude while scoring in the US$17,900 seventh race over seven furlongs.

Other races

Awesome Attitude, a 3-2 favourite, exhibited good early speed and edged ahead entering the final turn, pulling clear in the last furlong to win by three lengths.

The second favourite Blind River Fox was runner-up at odds of 2-1.

Ramgeet had also won races Friday and Saturday. On Friday, he landed the US$10,000 first race over five furlongs, pulling clear in deep stretch with the 3-to-1 chance Noemotion to win by 1-1/4 lengths.

His triumph Saturday came in the US$9,500 11th race over six furlongs when he produced a spectacular finish astride the 10-1 bet Fine Mademoiselle to land the event by a neck.
