Double for Jamaica's Nelson

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (CMC):

Jamaican jockey Tyrone Nelson scored with a double on Wednesday's eight-race card at Assiniboia Downs, to go fifth in the jockeys' standings.

Nelson produced two similar front-running rides to capture race three with the favourite Dance the Dance, and race six with another even-money bet, Mr Exspeedient.

He now has 22 wins, seven adrift of the fourth-place Mark Anderson, with David Lopez the runaway leader on 51 wins.

Going six furlongs in the day's third event, Nelson broke the four-year-old filly nicely and put her to the front, racing four lengths clear at the halfway mark.
