LEXINGTON, Kentucky (CMC):
Shaun Bridgmohan remained at the top of the jockeys' chart, with a double on Saturday's 11-race card at the world-famous Churchill Downs.
The Jamaican now has 15 wins for the season - three more than his nearest rival Corey Lanerie.
Bridgmohan won the US $49,000 third race going 1,600 metres on the dirt aboard the 3-10 favourite Le Mans by 5 1/4 lengths.
Le Mans, a three-year-old, dark bay colt, was last away, but Bridgmohan positioned him to force the pace before they took over approaching the stretch and drew away under steady urging for a time of one minute, 35.73 seconds.
