Patience and confidence paid off for the connections of Supremasi as the five-year-old bay horse picked up his first win for the season in the 3rd running of the $1.25-million Emelio ‘Bimbo’ Rodriguez Trophy on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

The Anthony Nunes trainee made one decisive move to win the 7½-furlong (1,500m) Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward by a half-length. He stopped the clock in an impressive and career-best 1:30.0.

Ridden by apprentice Jaheim Anderson, Supremasi got a good break at the start of the race and quickly assumed the lead. He led stablemate Miss Grove (Paul Francis), Rocket Fire Seb (Omar Walker),
Unspun (Richie Shakes), and Intrestntimesahead (Reyan Lewis) down the backstretch.

He maintained a steady gallop throughout until reaching the half-mile (800m) turn, where he increased the tempo on rivals. Mojito (Tajay Suckoo) then emerged as the main danger approaching the distance, but
Supremasi dug deep when asked in deep stretch.

Despite a late charge from Intrestntimesahead and Mojito, Supremasi held firm to score the win. Intrestntimesahead finished second, with Mojito finishing in third.

The win was Supremasi’s first since August last year and takes his career earnings past $6.4 million.
