After having bagged the Supertote Golden Trophy, Man To Man made it yet again this afternoon to clinch The Phoenix Maiden Cup, the biggest race on the island.

 It is jockey Rye Joorawon's first win in this classic, while Nathalie Henry, acting trainer since the passing away of Serge Henry, became the first ever lady trainer to win the Maiden.

Man To Man flew from his outside barrier to position himself in second position behind Vettel, and proved the best in the home straight to easily shrug off Bulsara's late challenge.
Leader Vettel had to content with 3rd spot ahead of Love Struck. - Mauritius Turf Club
