After six attempts this season, Digital One finally tasted sweet success in the $1.25-million Trevor McKenzie Trophy feature on Sunday, September 15, 2024.

The talented three-year-old American-bred filly shattered her winless drought with a resounding 5-length romp.

Competing in the Restricted Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward, Digital One mastered the 5-furlong (1,100m) round course with ease. Her scintillating performance was capped by a swift 59.3 seconds clocking (22.2 x 45.4).

Digital One’s long-awaited victory was a testament to her growing maturity and ability. With this convincing win, she signals her arrival.

Trainer Gary Subratie was pleased with the effort by the Uncle Lino – Legal Redemption offspring.

“I feel really good about the win. She ran a mile the other day and finished third but I wasn’t quite use to her. She got a little issue but hopefully we corrected it. I just acquired her some six weeks ago and so let’s see what she does from here on,” Subratie told the
Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide.

With Roman in the saddle Digital One bided her time from third place, sitting behind the pace as Sugar Daddy (Victor Sanchez) and Money Market (Paul Francis) battled it out up front.

But as they entered the final stretch Digital One made her move, hugging the inside rails and unleashing a powerful run that left Money Market in her wake. Oasis Jak (Shane Richardson) staged a late rally to claim third but Digital One was long gone.

The triumph marked Subratie’s second winner of the day, following The General’s dominant performance in the $1.05-million BGLC/TOBA Millionaires Series Race 1, a Maiden Condition race for native-bred three-year-olds over six furlongs. The General, ridden by Robert Halledeen, romped home by 4½ lengths, stopping the clock in 1:15.4.
