Trevor Simpson being congratulated after winning race number 1,500(Photos: Naphtali Junior) Only the legendary Winston "Fanna" Griffiths, with 1,663 winners, has ridden more winners than Simpson in the history of local thoroughbred racing. Soul Amia ran the distance in a time of 1:02.0.
Simpson brought his mount into play with a telling run towards the end of the race to beat Silver Fox (Andre Powell) and Ruds D Indian (Christopher Mamdeen) by a head in a blanket finish. Trevor "Slicer" Simpson further etched his name as one of the best in the saddle at Caymanas Park when he reached the milestone of 1,500 career wins.Ī 10-out-of-10 ride from Simpson aboard the Keffin Murray-conditioned Soul Amia in the eighth race, a native-bred five-year-old and upwards (non-winners of three) coming down the five straight course (1,000m), brought up the personal landmark achievement for the former five-time champion jockey. It was Simpson's 1,500th career winner at Caymanas Park.
