CALIFORNIA CROWN yesterday upstaged 1-5 favourite and stablemate INTERESTNTIMESAHEAD, leading home a Jason DaCosta 1-2-3 in yesterday’s 2000 Guineas at odds of 3-1 for champion owner Carlton Watson. Breaking smartly from the wide draw in the nine-...
EXERCISE-WATCHERS’ TONGUES were sent wagging last Sunday morning after ante-post favourite INTERESTNTIMESAHEAD and stablemate PROVIDENT went through their last speed gallop ahead of Sunday’s 2000 Guineas. PROVIDENT, who ran a vastly improved race...
RUN JULIE RUN’s Portmore performance, a gate-to-wire annihilation of her peers almost a month ago, puts the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes runner-up in a class by herself ahead of Saturday’s 1000 Guineas. Clocking 1:33.2 for seven and a half furlongs...
GET A PEPSI hounded Jamaica St Leger winner THALITA off-the-break, pointed approaching the half-mile and bravely battled in the stretch run for a well-deserved victory in yesterday’s Labour Day Trophy at seven furlongs. Vastly improved since...
WALL STREET TRADER and ROUGH ENTRY were destined to take similar paths, overseas winners entering the island to plunder the Caribbean’s richest race, last year’s Mouttet Mile. ROUGH ENTRY pulled off the coup, but WALL STREET TRADER was left in...
IGNORE THALITA’s near 10-month lay-up off which she reports for Thursday’s Labour Day Trophy. The St Leger winner has worked too good to be questioned among overnight-allowance runners. The two foreigners aside, SISTREN TREASURE and her stablemate...
JORDON REIGN’s, third in the 2022 Mouttet Mile, used his back class to make a mockery of the conditions book, needing only last-furlong reminders to go all the way in yesterday’s overnight-allowance at five furlongs straight. Reporting off a near...
DESPITE returning off a near seven-month break, JORDON REIGN’S class is undeniable, needing only what has been confirmed at exercise, relatively good health, to put away overnight-allowance runners on Sunday at five furlongs straight. Hindered and...
MAHOGANY WAS rallying under a hand ride along the rail in the Lady Geeta a month ago when DESERT OF MALIBU bumped him off stride, triggering a disqualification, which benefitted A GIFT FROM BEN, who closed into second place for his first grade-one...
SATURDAY’s YVONNE Mattis Trophy has the makings of a tricky affair in which any of five runners – SUNSET SILHOUTTE, INSPIRE FORCE, RAINSVILLE, ALL FOR LOVE, and STOMP THE RHYTHM – could strike at the drop of a hat. ALL FOR LOVE and SUNSET SILHOUTTE...
Interesting times are indeed ahead following the running of the weekend’s Portmore and Kingston Guineas prep events. RUN JULIE RUN clocked 1:33.2 to easily land the fillies-only Portmore on Saturday, followed by INTRESTNTIMESAHEAD clocking 1:33.1...
INTRESTNTIMESAHEAD is beginning to have that Triple Crown look about him ahead of next month’s 2000 Guineas, especially after recovering from interference at the off to outclass rivals in the Prince Consort Stakes. It takes a special three-year-old...
ROBERT HALLEDEEN should thank his lucky stars that the stewards were in a good mood, or probably had too long a day, not to have been disqualified for his antics aboard BANADURA when beating stablemate COMEHOMETOME in the Thornbird Stakes three...
RADDESH Roman completed a five-timer, closing yesterday’s 10-race card with a hat-trick signed off by GET A PEPSI in the Temperence Oaks Trophy at six and a half furlongs. Starting the afternoon 13 behind leading rider Tevin Foster, title-...
TREMENDOUSLY improved since last summer, local-bred GET A PEPSI could break his overnight-allowance duck in Sunday’s Temperence Oaks Trophy. However, American CHAMPION BUBBLER’s hint of back class a month ago makes her a dangerous contender for the...
RHYTHM BUZZ, the best offspring of 2016 Gold Cup winner, in-utero Buzz Nightmare (Into Mischief-Queen of Battle), should confirm his form and versatility in Saturday’s Legal Light Trophy at nine furlongs and 25 yards after a cracking victory...
UNITED STATES-BRED UNCAPTURED EMPRESS appears back to form, having struck the right chord among local-breds, non-winners of three races, when finishing second behind POWER FROM ABOVE at a mile on March 24. A four-year-old who appears best at middle...

JAMAICA Two-Year-Old Stakes champion, INTRESTNTIMESAHEAD, has been galloping smartly at exercise for Sunday’s Prince Consort Stakes, clocking a sharp 1:15.0 for six furlongs out the mile chute last Sunday. If there’s an unknown to test...
RUN JULIE RUN’s dull effort in blinkers late February took the sheen off her second-place run in December’s Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes. However, returning for Saturday’s Thornbird Stakes minus the blinders, the grey filly should make amends at...
DRAWN favourably at stall seven in a field of nine as the quickest on the faster stands’ side for Saturday’s closing event, SHE’S A GODGIFT should score the hat-trick even if blindfolded. Lining up against local-breds, non-winners of four races,...
ATOMICA had things her way in yesterday’s Viceroy Trophy, dominating Americans ROUGH ENTRY and IS THAT A FACT with her big middle-distance pace for a near 16-length win at a mile. Partnered by Omar Walker, who replaced Canada-bound Dane Dawkins,...
ATOMICA had no luck in running, though of her own doing, on both occasions she squared off with Gulfstream Park-invader ROUGH ENTRY. However, the 2022 Jamaica Derby winner can make amends for her quirkiness should Omar Walker keep her out of tight...
SATURDAY’s KING’S Plate could be a handicap gift to last year’s 1000 Guineas and Oaks winner, MAMMA MIA, returning with a 10lb weight swing on MONEY MONSTER, the winner of last year’s race. MAMMA MIA and MONEY MONSTER are fresh out of a hot six-...
