Teenage jockey wins prestigious race

Bridgetown.

Jalon Samuel won the prestigious Sandy LaneGold Cup yesterday evening at the Garrison Savanah. The talented 18 year old jockey rode Dancin David owned by Sir David Seale to one of the most unlikely victory in the history of race.

"I feel as if I have a crown on top of my head this is something new,  it is an experience like none other. After last year, I am happy to be in winner's circle, so I am keeping this one", Samuel said.

Last year, Samuel was disqualify after he rode Show Me Te Money to an emphatic Gold Cup triumph. Tears flowed from his eyes after the stewards announced his disqualification.

This year Dancin David was a late replacement as Mingun Temple was scratch from the Gold Cup on the eve of the race, giving the talenred young jockey achange at the redemption he knew was his.
