WHILE Dream Catcher claimed the spotlight with an emphatic win in the $3.75-million 1000 Guineas Classic for fillies on Saturday, it was Rohan Crichton’s Legacy Isle who stole the show after obliterating a 35-year-old track record in the Eros Trophy.

Legacy Isle turned the Graded Stakes/Open Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward into a one-horse show, stopping the clock at 1:22.3 for seven furlongs (1,400m) to erase the legendary Eros’s 1:22.4 mark set in 1991.

Under a confident ride from Raddesh Roman, Legacy Isle began to assert himself leaving the five-furlong marker. Once he hit the front the six-year-old bay horse never let up. He turned on the pressure in deep stretch and drew off powerfully to score by 3¼ lengths, sending a buzz through the Caymanas Park stands as the long-standing record finally fell. Girvano (Tevin Foster) finished second and Nautical Star (Jordan Barrett) was third.
