                    [Summary] => Fourth pick Kilimanjaro came out of nowhere to beat top favorite Manila’s Gem and rule the Philracom Chairman’s Cup before a stunned crowd at the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite.


At the tailend of the nine-horse field majority of the 1,600-meter race, Kilimanjaro made his move at the far turn then sneaked in the middle of the pack at the top of the stretch before galloping past a fading Manila’s Gem under heavy whipping from ace jockey Patti Dilema for the victory.

Expertly handled by jockey Jesse Guce, the four-year-old chestnut colt set the pace early and was never threatened the rest of the way.
