KINGSTON, Jamaica - The sixth race on Sunday, February 9, 2025, is a three-year-old maiden call going seven furlongs.
Ten horses are entered, and The Quick Galloper’s analysis is as follows:
1 - UNCLE HARRY is a bay colt (February 19) by Bern Identity out of Long Running Train, trained by Ian Parsard with Shane Ellis riding. He has been finely tuned for his first start. From good stock, Uncle Harry has undergone several workouts, including a five-and-a-half-furlong spin clocking 1:07.4. The main concern for his first start is the distance; it's always challenging for a first-timer to win going seven furlongs, which typically requires better than normal quality.
2 - NEBUCHADNEZZAR is a chestnut colt (April 22) by Soul Warrior out of Queen of Bagdad, trained by Anthony Nunes with Dick Cardenas aboard. He began his racing career 14 days ago but finished fifth, far behind the winner. However, that experience should be beneficial as he faces this competition.
3 - SLAM SHARPE is a bay colt (February 10) by Sensational Slam out of Peggy’s Vision, trained by Michael Marlowe with Ian Spence in the saddle. Slam Sharpe races with the visor and tongue tie on and has a long way to go in his development.
4 - GIANT VIGOROUS is a bay filly (January 9) by Here Comes Ben out of Glorious Cause, trained by Rowan Mathie with Tyrese Anderson handling the reins. As the most experienced of this group, Giant Vigorous has started five times without showing significant improvement, and this trend is likely to continue.
5 - PEAS HEAD is a bay colt (March 8) by Natural Selection out of Cowgirl Spirit, trained by Everal Francis with Richard Henry as the designated jockey. Peas Head races with blinkers on and still has a lot to learn in his racing career.
6 - PRINCE KAZAIRE is a dark brown colt (May 5) by Sensational Slam out of Maggie’s Way, trained by Adrian Prince with Oneil Mullings riding. He is getting closer in his second start, and a place in the top four seems like a strong possibility.
7 - MARK MY IDENTITY is a chestnut colt (March 5) by Bern Identity out of Sweet Like Sugar, trained by Enos Brown with Dane Dawkins aboard. Mark My Identity races with a figure eight on and has finished second in both of his previous starts. Notably, he is among the few in this line-up who have raced over seven furlongs before, which is a major factor in assessing potential winners.
8 - COSALIVIN is a chestnut filly (March 20) by Bold Conquest out of Sweetyourock, trained by Gregg Fennell with Tevin Foster in the saddle. Cosalivin races with a figure eight on and is slowly building her reputation, with a top four finish likely within reach.
9 - ROARING KITTY is a bay filly (January 28) by Casual Trick out of Salty Talk, trained by Ian Parsard with Ismael Velasquez holding the reins. Roaring Kitty races with a tongue tie on. She hit the frame on debut (November 9) but has been away for 92 days. While she may need time to find her footing, yet she cannot be overlooked.
10 - REPORTABLE OFFENSE is a bay filly (May 8) by Deputy Glitters out of Official Report, trained by Steven Todd with Paul Francis riding. She is gradually finding her groove, and this race represents another step for Reportable Offense.
