Chris Husbands is Canada’s top jockey again
Race jockey Chris Husbands is one of the most accomplished sportsmen out of the Caribbean, although pretty much an unsung hero because he excels in the sport of kings.
Husbands capped an incredible comeback season by winning the final race to ride off with the jockeys’ title in Canada last week.
Husbands, who spent most of last year out battling injuries, captured the final race of the season, the CAN$30,000 Crimson Maple Cup Stakes, on Clarayouthebest to secure his fourth jockeys title at Fort Erie in Ontario.
The 36-year-old Barbadian ended the meet with 41 victories and CAN$480,519 in total winnings to dethrone 2024 champion Juan Crawford, who finished with 32 wins and CAN$361,833 in winnings.
In the final race, Husbands launched four-year-old bay filly Clarayouthebest at the leader Moral Terpitude on the homestretch, to win by a neck.
It was his third win of the day, following victories in the opening race with Tentomidnight and Maiken the Viking in the day’s fourth race.
