TAMPA BAY, Florida (CMC)

Jamaican jockey Andrew Ramgeet maintained his steady form at Tampa Bay Downs with two wins Sunday afternoon.

The three-time Jamaica champion landed races one and seven to complete four wins in the last three race days, lifting him to seventh in the jockeys' championship standings with eight wins.

Daniel Centeno is leading rider with 22 victories, five ahead of Carlos Montalvo (17).

In the US$8,600 first race over 6-1/2 furlongs, Ramgeet steered the four-year-old gelding Lawyer George to a front-running victory in 1:19.50.

Going off as a 10 to 1 bet in the 12-horse field, Lawyer George showed good speed under Ramgeet and was resolute in deep stretch to hold on for a half-length victory, under pressure from the hot 6-5 favourite Golden Trend.

Ramgeet had an easier win astride the five-year-old gelding Awesome Attitude, while scoring in the US$17,900 seventh race over seven furlongs.

Awesome Attitude, a 3-2 favourite, exhibited good early speed and edged ahead entering the final turn, pulling clear in the last furlong to win by three lengths.

The second favourite Blind River Fox was runner-up at odds of 2-1.

Ramgeet had also won races Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, he landed the US$10,000 first race over five furlongs, pulling clear in deep stretch with the 3-to-1 chance Noemotion to win by 1-1/4 lengths.

His triumph Saturday came in the US$9,500 11th race over six furlongs when he produced a spectacular finish astride the 10-1 bet Fine Mademoiselle to land the event by a neck.

Meanwhile at Aqueduct in New York young Jamaican rider Jermaine Bridgmohan jumped into early contention in the Aqueduct jockeys' championship race with two wins on Sunday afternoon.

Bridgmohan, 19, won the second and fourth races on the card and is now joint second in the jockeys' table with five wins, three behind leading rider Ramon Dominguez (8).

In the US$49,000 second race over a mile and 70 yards, Bridgmohan used the five-year-old gelding Sigh You to score an upset win in one minute 43.40 seconds.

Sigh You, a 21-to-1 outsider, led the seven-horse field and held off a furious finish from the 5-1 chance Taking the Redeye, to win by a nose.

Bridgmohan, who rode a record 110 winners to capture the 2006-2007 Tropical Meet at Calder in Florida last year January, also won the US$44,000 fourth race over 5-1/2 furlongs with Karakorum Katie, the second favourite.
