AN INTRIGUING clash of speedsters – Jamaica Derby-winner ATOMICA versus four-year-old SHE’S MY DESTINY – should have punters on the edge of their seats from the word go in Saturday’s I’msatisfied Trophy at six furlongs. Though it’s a big 12-horse...
DOWN-IN-CLASS speedster RUNAWAY ALGO made short work of yesterday’s Bridge 99FM feature race for overnight-allowance runners, going gate-to-wire in the seven and a half furlong event. A prospect for the US$125,000 Mouttet Mile on December 3, the...
RUNAWAY ALGO is a tempting banker in Sunday’s Bridge 99 FM Cup at seven and a half furlongs after staying on for third behind JORDON REIGN’S and EROY at a mile in grade one on August 27. However, galloping out the mile chute is no blink-sprint,...
JASON DACOSTA’S in-form American, I AM FRED, appears a hot prospect to take out CALCULUS in Saturday’s Menudo Trophy after pulling off a giant-killing act, outfinishing speedy MAHOGANY at six furlongs in the None Such Trophy at six furlongs two...

EAGLE ONE has landed back among overnight allowance runners after being stumped by fellow American, RACE CAR, who was also down in class for the August 20 six-furlong sprint. Sent off a hot 3-5 favourite, EAGLE ONE was caught by sparingly raced but...

CALCULUS, last year’s Jamaica Derby winner, went on an afternoon stroll in yesterday’s Kenneth Mattis Memorial at nine furlongs and 25 yards, dismissing stablemate AWESOME TREASURE a half-mile out before staying on in workmanlike fashion to easily...
POINTING to a full field of 150 participants down to tee off in this morning’s 18th annual United States Travel Advisors Golf Tournament at Sandals Golf and Country Club in Upton, St Mary, Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett on Saturday said the...
CALCULUS will be a no-brainer banker on every ticket punched Sunday, scandalously down two groups among overnight-allowance runners after failing by a half-length to catch KING ARTHUR in the Grade One Eros Trophy six weeks ago, allowing the 2020...
WERE A line to be run through MAHOGANY’s loss to RUNAWAY ALGO, reporting lightly trained off a seven-month break in mid-April, it would be reasonable to say the five-year-old gelding’s last true defeat was December 2020 when finishing fourth in the...
THOUGH HE failed to win a classic race, BRINKS regained form in time to claim runner-up spots in the 2000 Guineas and Jamaica Derby, plus a third-place run in the St Leger, to put his miserable early season performances behind him, again showing...
RICHARD Azan’s POWER RANKING and ARTESIA upstaged favourites in back-to-back races yesterday, handing the veteran trainer the two biggest purses on the 10-race card. Omar Walker made a decisive move with 9-2 chance ARTESIA down the backstretch to...

LEADING RIDER Dane Dawkins and champion Anthony Thomas square off on Saturday aboard JORDON REIGN’S and KING ARTHUR, respectively, in what should be a cracker for the She’s A Maneater Trophy at a mile. Dawkins has been unrelenting in his quest for...
D HEAD CORNERSTONE used his classic form, fourth in the St Leger and Jamaica Derby, to outstay UNRULY DUDE in yesterday’s Caymanas Park 1959 feature race at a mile, collaring the speedster a half-furlong out before pulling away for a comfortable...
SPENCER Chung’s imported maiden, REAL BOSS, had her petticoat exposed on last, a flying second to PERFECT BREW at seven furlongs after being broadsided shortly after the start and all but tailed off down the backstretch. Fitted with blinkers for...
EAGLE ONE belongs nowhere near overnight-allowance runners, having beaten open allowance/graded stakes in February, afterwards holding his own in subsequent races at the level, including a four-length finish for fourth behind JORDON REIGN’s 1:12.3...

IF THERE was ever a horse to have benefitted from the classic season starting two months later, instead of let’s-get-it-over-and-done-with April to July, Robert Pearson’s OUR ANGEL can take a bow heading into Sunday’s Jamaica Oaks at 10 furlongs....
ATOMICA’s FLASHY 1:25.3 at exercise last Sunday has reignited the filly versus colt saga for Saturday’s Jamaica Derby despite BLUE VINYL’s convincing victory at 10 furlongs in the St Leger a month ago. Unbeaten in five starts heading into the St...
IAN PARSARD’S MAHOGANY used his terrifying mid-race pace early in the stretch run to kick clear of natural sprinters, GOD OF LOVE and LABAN, for a predictable five-and-a-quarter length win in yesterday’s Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Commission...
