KINGSTON, Jamaica -  The seventh race of nine on the Caymanas New Year’s Day card turned out to be a pulsating duel involving Unwritten Law (Aaron Chatrie) and Sure Curlin (Robert Halledeen).

The two were in combat from the off, with neither giving any quarter, fighting hammer and tongs for the entirety of the race.
