The second race on Saturday, 26 September 2026, is the season’s fourth race for two-year-olds. A field of six is set to contest the four-furlong event.
Five are locally bred, while BIG STACK is the sole US-bred runner.
The Quick Galloper assesses each contender below.
1 – GLAMA GIRL
Bay filly (April 8) by Bern Identity out of Indian Bluff
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Garvin Harris
Glama Girl has competed in two of the season’s three juvenile races, recording one third-place finish. She still has progress to make, but her experience could earn her a place in the exacta.
2 – MANDY
Chestnut filly (May 16) by Whiskey Double out of Lady Blue
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Abigail Able
Equipment Change – First-time Lasix
With three starts, Mandy is the most experienced runner in the field. She finished second behind her stablemate and foreign-bred runner, Birthday King on August 29, but failed to make an impression when facing Sooryavanshi on September 12. She will need to show significant improvement to win.
3 – LEELA’S CHOICE
Bay filly (March 11) by Sir Alton out of Antoinette
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Calvin Bailey
Leela’s Choice has raced once, on August 29, but that outing offered little indication of her ability. She will need to show considerable improvement to feature.
4 – BORNE IDENTITY
Bay colt (January 12) by Bern Identity out of Primo Extremo
Trainer – Christopher Pearson
Jockey – Shaeem Gordon
Borne Identity finished fourth in his only start to date, on August 29. That performance provides little evidence that he is ready to win.
5 – AWHODAT
Bay filly (February 18) by Bern Identity out of The Genesis
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Tevin Foster
Awhodat finished third on debut, nearly eight lengths behind the winner, Sooryavanshi. Although the performance was not especially convincing, it may be enough to make her competitive against this field.
6 – BIG STACK (USA)
Brown colt (February 18) by Drain The Clock out of Tahaweel
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Robert Halledeen
Equipment – First-time Lasix
Big Stack has been prepared for his debut with several gallops, including a four-furlong workout in 47.0 seconds on September 12. He is the only US-bred runner in the field, a distinction that can be an advantage in these contests. His preparation suggests he could make a winning debut.
