MINIATURE MAN, a 9-1 outsider trained by Jason DaCosta and ridden by Dick Cardenas, forced a dead heat with 4-5 favourite FURTHER AND BEYOND in Saturday s seven-and-a-half furlong Kingston for colts and geldings.
FURTHER AND BEYOND, who won the April 6, Prince Consort Stakes, by a short head over DaCosta s BILLY WHIZZ, was allowing MINIATURE MAN nine pounds in a bid for a fourth straight victory ahead of next month s 2000 Guineas at a mile.

DUKE closed fast under Panamanian Dick Cardenas for new owner, Success Farms, to catch 7-5 favourite PATRIARCH close home in Saturday s SVREL 4th Anniversary Trophy feature event at Caymamas Park.
DUKE broke slowly but mended to straighten second in the sharp sprint, circled TREVOR S CHOICE on the home turn, before going after PATRIARCH.
Surging on the outside inside the last half-furlong to collar PATRIARCH, who slowed after setting splits of 22.4 and 45.3, DUKE clocked 1:05.4 for the trip.

SENTIENT outclassed stablemate CRIMSON by three-quarter lengths, clocking 1:56.2 in winning the Bonnie Blue Flag Trophy at nine furlongs and 25 yards at Caymanas Park on Saturday.
Hunting back-to-back wins at the distance after rebounding to form on New Year s Day in 1:55.2, CRIMSON charged at his stablemate after going past ROY ROGERS a furlong out.
However, SENTIENT, a grade-one winner of September s Chairman s Trophy, who had tracked ROY ROGERS before taking over approaching the home turn, stayed on strongly with Dane Nelson to hold his stablemate at bay.
The combination of title-chasing jockey, Dane Nelson, and champion trainer, Anthony Nunes, dominated Saturday s 11-race card at Caymamas Park.
Nelson won four races to reduce Anthony Thomas lead to one atop the jockeys standings and Nunes extended his stakes lead over Wayne DaCosta, saddling three winners, including CHANDRA S LAW and ALIMONY, in the divided Starters Trophy for two-year-olds.
With three meets to close the season, Nunes appears a safe bet to retain the crown he won last season, snapping DaCosta s 13-year reign as an 18-time champion.
Nelson opened his four-timer aboard BLACK ROYALTY for trainer Richard Todd in the second before making all with CHANDRA S LAW in division one of the four-furlong straight Starters Trophy.
