SHAKOPEE, United States (CMC) – Jamaican-born Jermaine Bridgmohan held onto a top 10 spot in the jockeys’ standings at Canterbury Park in the United States with a double on Thursday’s eight-race card.

The 34-year-old has nine wins from 38 mounts for the season which opened on May 26, and he is eighth in the standings led by Puerto Rican-born reinsman Harry Hernandez with 27.

Bridgmohan opened the day’s activities with a comfortable nine-length win aboard the raging hot odds-on favourite Out Run’m, in the US$32000 allowance first race over one mile on the dirt course.

He saved ground on Out Run’m around the first turn and chased the leader Undertow, under Hernandez, up the backstretch before he produced the five-year-old, chestnut gelding from the two path coming around the far turn, and drew him off in the stretch for a time of 1 minute, 37.64 seconds, narrowly off the track record.

Bridgmohan, the victim of a fall last September at the track that left him hospitalised for several weeks, then had a half-length win astride the 2-1 chance Dreaming Biz in the US$13,000 claiming fourth race over one mile on the turf course.

He again put his mount to save ground around the first turn and settled Dreaming Biz in the middle of the pack on the outside for the run up the backstretch, before making his bid on the six-year-old, dark bay mare from the five path coming around the second turn, duelling in the lane and getting up late to clock 1 minute, 35.58 seconds.
