Good week for Walcott

Article by Lindon Yarde

RICO WALCOTT continued his superb form with six of the ten wins landed by Barbadian jockeys on the Canadian circuit over the regular three-day period last week.

The four-time champion at Northands Park earned a solitary win on Wednesday’s card astride Lovely Start, as the pair covered the six furlongs in 1:11.27. But he was at his lethal best on Friday as his skilfully booted home four winners.

He opened the card with a win aboard Hero Amor, stopping the clock at 1:10 in a six-furlong race. Walcott then claimed three consecutive races, starting astride Wild Romero going six and a half furlongs in a reasonable 1:17.36.

He and Truvi got across the finish line in 1:39.98 in a one-mile event, and the jockey followed up by piloting Count The Change home in 1:37.68 in another one-miler.
