The fourth race on Saturday, April 25, 2025, is a Maiden Special Weight for three-year-olds.
Six runners are entered, with four foreign-breds and two locally bred. The distance of this feature, the Jamaica Equine Veterinary Association Trophy, is nine furlongs and 25 yards.
Below is The Quick Galloper’s assessment of the likely outcome done in post-position order.
1 – WHATASPUN (USA)
Bay colt (March 16) by Spun To Run out of Miss Foo Foo
Trainer – Alford Brown
Jockey – Anthony Allen
Equipment – Visor on
A frequent participant with eight starts already. Whataspun has yet to show signs of being ready to break through for a win.
2 – PUROSANGUE (USA)
Chestnut colt (February 24) by Made From Lucky out of Rimanisempreforte
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Clive Lynch
Debuted on April 6, finishing third behind Imjustagirl and Amry Tank, closing mildly over six furlongs. Facing easier opposition here, Purosangue could notch his first victory.
3 – I LOVE BIRDIE
Bay colt (January 22) by Savoy Stomp out of Birdie My Love
Trainer – Fitzroy Glispie
Jockey – Demar Williams
Placed second and third in his two outings so far. I Love Birdie has been finishing strongly, and with the longer trip favoring closers, he is a genuine contender.
4 – ANY MEANS (USA)
Grey colt (March 4) by Leofric out of Necessary
Trainer – Michael Marlowe
Jockey – Tevin Foster
Equipment – Blinkers off
Consistent across four starts. Was withdrawn at the gates on March 28 but has otherwise performed well. Any Means looks the one they all have to beat.
5 – PROSPERITY SEN
Bay colt (May 20) by Aveenu Malcainu out of Sencity
Trainer – Alford Brown
Jockey – Shane Richardson
Appears outclassed in this company.
6 – COMUNA TRECE (USA)
Bay colt (May 28) by Maximum Security out of My Anguilla
Trainer – Oral Hayden Jockey – Raddesh Roman
Equipment – Visor off
The most seasoned of the group with 11 starts. Has already earned over $800,000 in career purses. Likely to pick up more here.
