Jamaica’s leading trainer Jason DaCosta logged his 27th win of the current USA season, when his three-year-old filly Shewearsmyring won the Mahoning Valley third race, on Wednesday.

Sent off as a 7-1 bet, Shewearsmyring, bidden by Fernando Salazar Beccera, finished fast after sitting off the pace. She won the one-mile Maiden Special Weight event by a length, in a time of 1:42.38, at the Ohio racetrack.

DaCosta’s horses boast earnings of US$828,685 in the US so far this year with just under 30 wins, 25 seconds and 31 third-place finishes.

The 38-year-old has 77 wins so far this season with horses’ earnings of JA$86.56 million (US$556,695) at Jamaica’s Caymanas Park, and he is well on course to repeat as champion trainer.
