WILSON, a 15-1 long shot, outbattled second choice EXTRUDER to land Saturday s Fitzgerald Crawford Memorial at Caymanas Park by a neck.
Running with the handicaps in his favour at 109lb due to Jordan Barrett s weight allowance, WILSON straightened third in the seven-furlong event, chasing leader EXTRUDER and ENUFFISENUFF.
Taking aim at the leaders in the stretch run, WILSON went past ENUFFISENUFF a furlong out before fighting out the finish with a determined EXTRUDER, partnered by Tevin Foster.
WILSON clocked 1:27.0 in the overnight allowance event for horses who have never won at the level, a victory for trainer Donovan Plummer in his first run with the six-year-old he had claimed for $850,000 three weeks ago.
