KINGSTON, Jamaica – The eighth race on Saturday, August 19, 2023, at Caymanas Park is a three-year-old non-winners of two for locally bred horses, and a maiden for three-year-old foreigners. The distance is the minimum on the round course, five furlongs.
Nine horses have been nominated to race, with The Quick Galloper providing the race analysis below.
1 – DIGITAL LIGHT is a bay filly (January 14) by Wannabeaplayer out of Morning Grace, trained by Gary Griffiths with Youville Pinnock in the saddle. This filly has been slowly trying to find her footing in non-two. That learning curve continues on Saturday.
2 – LADY ABHIMALA is a chestnut filly (March 8) by Legal Process out of Lady Abhijita, trained by Rowan Mathie with Paul Francis aboard. Note, Lady Abhimala races with the blinkers on. Lady Abhimala put in a respectable effort in the Oaks, with the distance of ten furlongs providing difficult. She returns to a likeable trip, and with the blinkers on should be one of the deciding factors.
