KINGSTON, Jamaica – The second race on Sunday, December 17, 2023, features four-year-olds and up, non-winners of four races, with six horses in the one-mile event.
The Quick Galloper provides an analysis of the possible outcomes for race two.
1 – JUSTIN BIDEN performed well in his first run at the non-four level, losing by a neck to Real Boss at 7 ½ furlongs. The extra half-furlong in this event shouldn't affect him. He is likely to set the pace and needs to be caught.
2 – TALONA hasn't demonstrated effectiveness at this distance and can't be considered a strong contender for victory.
3 – TRADITIONAL LADY didn't excel in her first attempt at non-four seven days ago but will improve with experience.
4 – DELAY THE GAME enters this contest from the claiming ranks and could face challenges on Sunday.
5 – FLY MESSENGER FLY isn't among the fastest of this group, typically performing best in the straight. She can be placed in the exacta as Justin Biden appears to have her measure.
6 – SELECT ME has been racing in this category for some time without significant results. Note that Select Me will be wearing figure-eight equipment during the race.
