COCK ROBIN, offering odds of 5-1 with Andre Martin aboard, made virtually all to win race No. 3 in the Champion/CTL Claming Series ($220,000-$190,000) over 1100 metres at Caymanas Park yesterday.

Owned and trained by George Moo-Young, who saddled a second winner on the card in 3-5 favourite RISTO-CAT, COCK ROBIN won by two lengths from 14-1 chance GOOD HOPE and the 9-5 favourite RICKAYBA, heads on for second in the 12-strong field.

COCK ROBIN, who was claimed for $220,000 by Moo-Young on July 29 when caught on the wire by SNOW PROSPECT in race one of the current series, could be described as the quintessential claiming horse. This win marked his third in the series, having won races in March and April in the first series, which ran from January to June.

COCK ROBIN was ridden to dispute the lead with highly fancied TASSY'S WHIP (3-1), followed by RICKAYBA, GOOD HOPE and DIGI N' JIGGY (7-1). He quickened into a two-length lead entering the straight and kept on strongly for a decisive victory, his sixth from 13 starts this season.

Moo-Young, who was posting his first double since he started training in 1998, said since claiming COCK ROBIN three races ago, he has had little luck with the six-year-old son of Alisios-Catch The Rumor.

"So I dropped him in class and programmed him specifically for this race and in the end he did what was expected of him.

"I'm happy that he was not claimed and my intention is to come back and win another race in the series," said the trainer.

With champion jockey Omar Walker sitting out the first of a two-day suspension, former champion Shane Ellis seized the opportunity to ride three winners on the card, including the Rowan Mathie-trained filly AL FOUZIA, who romped the Dewhurst Stakes over 1300 metres for two-year-olds at odds of 3-2.

Former top-flight jockey Fitzroy Glispie saddled his first winner as a trainer when 4-5 favourite JAYLEN, ridden by the apprentice Richard Mairs, won the closing Knutsford Park Cup over 1200 metres.
