Tyler Lopes made a clean sweep of Boxing Day Stakes honours and set a new record for a two-year-old at the Bermuda Equestrian Centre on New Year’s Day.

The driver won the two-year old and aged stakes titles with his own filly, Google Me, and Arnold Manders’s gelding Cherokee’s Ironman.

He also shaved three-fifths of a second off of the previous two-year-old stakes record after posting a 1:05/1.

“It feels really good to make a clean sweep,” Lopes said. “As far as the filly [Google Me] is concerned, I could not have asked anymore from her. She won the stakes and broke the record by about three-fifths of a second for the two-year-olds.”

Lopes’s Indiana-bred pony has dominated during her rookie season.

“She has only lost three races and all three of those races were to War Machine,” Lopes said.

“Every other start she has won pretty easily and really showed that she learnt how to race and that’s the goal as a two-year-old — you want to teach them how to race.”

New Year’s Day racing was Google Me’s last appearance for the season.

“She is not going to race anymore,” Lopes said. “I think she has proven her worth and we are going to give her a rest and look forward to what we are going to see from her in the next couple of years.

“She has learnt how to race and knows what she is doing, and so we are going to give her a break.”

Lopes capped another memorable day at the track by guiding Cherokee’s Ironman to a second-straight aged stakes title.

Going into the final stakes races Manders’s gelding was level with Aaron Sims’s stallion Simsfield Hardtimes at the top of the standings.

However, the exciting battle for bragging rights never materialised as Simsfield Hardtimes was forced to scratch through injury.

“It was unfortunate Simsfield Hardtimes had to scratch because I think it would have been a pretty good hook,” Lopes said. “But there’s always next year.

“There is nothing seriously wrong with Simsfield Hardtimes and he should be back stronger next year.”

Cherokee’s Ironman also came to within a fifth of a second of breaking its own record for the fastest time this season after running a 1:03/1 in the aged stakes.
