The third race on Saturday, March 28, 2026, features foreign bred horses three and four-year-olds non-winners of three races and three and four-year-olds locally bred horses, who are non-winners of four races.
Six horses were originally entered to compete going six furlongs, but number six, Prodigious Power has been officially declared as a late non-starter.
The Quick Galloper’s assessment of the possible outcome is shared below in draw order.
1 – THE TEACHA (USA)
Three-year-old bay colt (January 17) by Thousand Words out of Flouncy Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Robert Halledeen
Made a striking debut on March 14 over 5 ½ furlongs, going straight to the front and never in danger. Since then, reports from morning gallops suggest steady improvement, and expectations are high for another winning performance.
2 – MULLIGAN MAN (USA)
Three-year-old brown colt (April 10) by Free Drop Billy out of Jelly Roll Trainer – Saqlain Roman
Jockey – Tevin Foster
Note – Mulligan Man races without the tongue tie
Already has three runs under his belt, including a victory. His continued progress in morning drills points to a strong showing, and he should be competitive throughout.
3 – HONOUR PRINCE
Four-year-old bay colt by Bern Identity out of Awesome Lucy
Trainer – Robert Pearson
Jockey – Tajay Suckoo
Once considered a prime contender for the Classics last year, with two wins and a promoted win in the Prince Consort Stakes. However, after an injury layoff and last racing on April 12, 2025, he may need more time to rediscover his best form.
4 – RICORICORICO (USA)
Four-year-old bay colt by Win Win Win out of Frosty Nightmare
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Reyan Lewis
Opened his 2026 season with a victory on January 1, his second from 11 starts. His recent workouts have been encouraging, and another solid effort is anticipated.
5 – ALCHEMY OF SOULS
Four-year-old grey colt by Spieth out of Emerald Belle
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Clive Lynch
Returns after a 112-day break. Known to prefer longer trips, six furlongs may prove too sharp, but this run should help build fitness for future engagements.
6 – PRODIGIOUS POWER
Three-year-old bay colt (May 25) by Global Campaign out of Ghostie Trainer – Philip Feanny
Jockey – Ian Spence
Note – visor fitted, tongue tie removed
Prodigious Power is a late non-starter.
