KINGSTON, Jamaica - Race seven on Saturday, October 12, 2024, is an Open Allowance for three-year-olds and up, covering a distance of five furlongs straight.
The race is named after the former top thoroughbred, Harlequin. Six horses are set to compete in this event. Let's take a closer look at each of the contenders.
1 - SISTREN TREASURE: This American-bred four-year-old filly secured her first win in 2024 over 7 1/2 furlongs, but she hasn't raced over the five-straight chute in a while. Despite being in good form, her change in rider raises concerns.
2 - ABILITY: Despite spinning around at the start of his last race, this former Derby winner has proven to be effective at five furlongs straight in the past. He's in good condition and remains a strong contender despite carrying the top weight.
3 - FEARLESS SOUL: While he performed better in this grade by finishing second, his chances of winning this race are remote due to a lack of recent experience over the five straight course.
4 - SENSATIONAL MOVE: This four-year-old has a proven track record as a five-straight specialist and is the favourite to win, having previously defeated talented opponents over this course.
5 - INSPIRE FORCE: Although he has reached this level, he has not shown promising results in his recent starts. He will race with the visor off and the cheekpieces on.
6 - MADELYN’S SUNSHINE: While she is still adapting to the challenges of Open Allowance, her favorable outside draw might give her a chance to be part of the exacta.
