Tortola’s ‘Moon Light Bandit’ won Ellis Thomas Downs feature race
The Races was spearheaded by Lesmore Smith, the President of the BVI Horse Owners Association and the day saw five exciting races with some 14 horses from St Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI).
Smith had First & Second Place
The feature race with a purse of $8000 was won by Tortola’s ‘Moon Light Bandit’ and coming in second was ‘Giant Valley’ also from Tortola. Both horses are owned by Lesmore Smith of Top Priority Racing Stables.
It was a four-horse race that also saw ‘Go Pancho Go’ of St. Thomas and the debut of ‘Unknown’ also from St. Thomas.
The next race day is scheduled for February 17, 2019, dubbed the pre-election races as the Virgin Islands (British) will go to the polls on February 25, 2019, to elect a new government.
