Caymanas Park is undergoing a historic shift as decades-old track records are falling in rapid succession. In a span of just three months, three United States-bred runners have completely rewritten the track's history books.
The record-breaking spree began on April 6, when Rideallday made a stunning seasonal debut in the Ian Levy Cup. The colt clocked a blistering over 8 ½ furlongs, successfully erasing Smile 'N' Leave's 29-year-old mark.
Exactly two months later on June 6, the champion sprinter Legacy Isle took to the track for the Eros Trophy. Ridden by jockey Raddesh Roman, Legacy Isle dominated the 7-furlong contest, stopping the clock at 1:22.3. The performance shaved a tenth of a second off the record held by the legendary Eros since 1991.
The most recent history-making performance came last Saturday in the Clovis Metcalfe Trophy. Phenomenal Power, also guided by Raddesh Roman, decimated the field to win by over 11 lengths. He crossed the line at 1:29.0 for 7 1/2 furlongs, shattering a 43-year-old record set by Sky Train back on May 7, 1983.
