TORON­TO –Top Bar­ba­di­an jock­ey Patrick Hus­bands and ace train­er Saffie Joseph Jr were both in win­ners’ row over the week­end at Wood­bine in Cana­da and Gulf­stream Park in Flori­da re­spec­tive­ly.

On Sat­ur­day, the 51-year-old Hus­bands guid­ed Tick­er Tape Home to the sev­en-fur­long $135,000 Sea­way Stakes (G3) for fil­lies and mares 3-year-olds and up.

Hav­ing trailed the field for most of the race, Tick­er Tape Home reeled in Gal in a Rush with less than 70 yards to run and went on to notch a neck tri­umph in a time of 1:23.10. Queen Macha was third and Meta­phys­i­cal was fourth.

Hus­bands then re­turned on Sun­day to win the $201, 500 Sim­coe Stakes on­board Scorch­ing and the $201, 000 Musko­ka Stakes with Souper Supreme, al­so at Wood­bine.

Mean­while, the Saffie Joseph-trained Com­e­dy Town con­tin­ued his dom­i­na­tion of South Flori­da with an em­phat­ic vic­to­ry in the $96,000 Ben­ny the Bull at Gulf­stream Park on Sat­ur­day.

It was the sec­ond con­sec­u­tive stakes vic­to­ry and third straight over­all for Com­e­dy Town, who won the sev­en-fur­long Ben­ny the Bull by near­ly two lengths ahead of fel­low Flori­da-bred Lo­co Abar­rio in sec­ond.

Lo­co Abar­rio and Flori­da-bred Big Mar­ti­ni jumped out of gate first then were quick­ly over­tak­en by Vivir Con Ale­gria (Arg) on the rail as the six 3-year-olds and old­er came out of the back­stretch chute.

Jock­ey Dray­den Van Dyke kept Com­e­dy Town on the out­side in fourth and about two lengths off Vivir Con Ale­gria through a quar­ter-mile in :22.92 be­fore inch­ing clos­er to front in tan­dem with Big Mar­ti­ni to his in­side head­ing in­to the turn.

Lo­co Abar­rio took over from be­tween hors­es past the three-eighths pole but had Com­e­dy Town in pur­suit on the out­side and Vivir Con Ale­gria on the rail. Those three all had a chance at the top of the lane be­fore Com­e­dy Town pulled away in the stretch. He was a length-and-three-quar­ters clear un­der the wire to fin­ish in 1:22.73 on the track rat­ed mud­dy and sealed.

There were al­so wins for Bar­ba­di­an jock­eys Rasheed Hugh­es and N’Ri­co Prescod.

Hugh­es rode five win­ners at Cen­tu­ry Mile and Ed­mon­ton, while al­so fin­ish­ing fourth in the Cana­di­an Der­by, while Prescod won two races on Sat­ur­day in­clud­ing the $99, 000 Speed to Spare Cham­pi­onship Stakes with Varat­ti.
