As anticipated, Wall Street Trader, conditioned by Rowan Mathie, delivered a dominant performance to capture the $1.25-million Ash Wednesday Trophy feature at Caymanas Park.

The six-year-old American-bred dark brown/bay gelding effortlessly won the Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward over six and a half furlongs (1,300m), crossing the wire five and a half lengths clear of his rivals in a time of 1:18.4 (23.3 x 46.2 x 1:11.4) minutes.

Ridden by Shane Richardson, Wall Street Trader broke smartly from the gate, assuming second position behind Banadura (Robert Halledeen) early on. However, approaching the five-furlong (1,000m) marker, Wall Street Trader seized command, surging to the front and rapidly expanding his lead.

He cruised to an effortless victory, with Sheer Delight (Omar Walker) and Unspun (Chris Mamdeen) finishing second and third, respectively.

Champion jockey Raddesh Roman saddled two winners to take the riding honours. He won aboard Heiroffire in the opening contest for trainer Ricardo Brown and aboard Let Him Fly in the fifth race for trainer Gregg Fennell.

No trainer had more than one winner. Racing continues on Saturday.
