Two-time defending champion jockey Raddesh Roman booted home three winners from four rides to close the gap in the race for the jockeys’ title on leader Tevin Foster at Caymanas Park on Saturday.

Roman’s treble was highlighted by Supernatural Power, who easily won the third running of the $1.4-million Thunderbird Trophy, an Open Allowance contest over seven and a half furlongs (1,500m).

Trained by Adrian Prince, Supernatural Power made one decisive move to win by a length and a half ahead of stablemate Phenomenal Power (Dane Dawkins), with Desert of Malibu (Shaheem Gordon) third.

The final time was an impressive 1:29.3, just shades outside the track record of 1:29.0 set by Phenomenal Power on July 4 this year.

Roman’s other winners were Salute The Don for trainer Gary Subratie in the seventh race and Diesel Train for trainer Peter-John Parsard in the 10th and final event.

With those winners, Roman took his tally for the season to 84, nine wins behind Foster on 93. Foster, who started the day 11 in front at 92-81, rode one winner in Chedwrick Humor for trainer Fitzgerald Richard in the opening event.

Subratie was the pick of the trainer with two winners. In addition to Salute The Don, Subratie saddled Margarita (Dane Dawkins) in the eighth race.

The action continues on Sunday with nine races on offering as the battle between Foster and Roman continues. Foster has seven rides, while Roman had secured only four.
