The eighth race of ten on the card of Saturday, September 19, 2026, features a competitive lineup of three-year-old maidens (Division 2) who have not earned $280,000 lifetime.
A field of ten sprinters will break from the gates over the 5 ½-furlong distance.
The Quick Galloper’s analysis of the field is detailed below in order of post position.
1 – HENDRIX (imported in utero)
Bay colt (April 24) by Frank Conversation out of Happy Face
Trainer – Gary Subratie
Jockey – Dane Dawkins
Getting closer to a breakthrough after delivering third-place finishes in his last two appearances. The distance fits him well, and a strong late-closing effort is expected.
2 – SHE’S IDEAL
Bay filly (May 14) by Sensational Slam out of Winesha
Trainer – Robert Pearson
Jockey – Demar Williams
Put in an eye-catching performance on June 28 when finishing third by 6 ½ lengths, but failed to back it up on July 11, trailing home in 12th place. Replicating her June run will keep her in the hunt.
3 – KING CUSH
Bay colt (March 18) by Wannabeaplayer out of Gold Charm
Trainer – Ricardo Brown
Jockey – Raddesh Roman
Equipment Change – First time Lasix
Has picked up a share of the purse in three of his four lifetime starts. Booking the champion jockey provides a major boost, making him a solid inclusion for exotic wagers.
4 – KAMIAK
Bay filly (April 15) by Sunshine N Shadow out of Another Affair
Trainer – Anthony Nunes
Jockey – Tajay Suckoo
Showed mild progress on August 30, finishing sixth and beaten by just seven lengths against Sonador. Needs additional time before making an impact.
5 – RUN FOR FUN
Chestnut filly (March 15) by Bern Identity out of Native Gold
Trainer – Steven Todd
Jockey – Paul Francis
Slowly working her way toward form after seven career starts, but likely needs more development before contending.
6 – EVERYTHING KRISS
Trainer – Jason DaCosta
Jockey – Shaheem Gordon
Missed out by the shortest of margins just 20 days ago, battling ahead of Mr Carter over this identical trip. Expect her to set the tempo and serve as the horse to beat.
7 – WOODBURN HILLS
Bay filly (February 5) by Aveenu Malcainu out of Classical Princess
Trainer – Patrick Lynch
Jockey – Jaheim Anderson
A solid fourth-place effort over the five-furlong straight course suggests she has enough form to snatch a minor placing.
8 – MR CARTER
Bay colt (February 2) by Bern Identity out of Miss Gabbidon
Trainer – Barrington Bernard
Jockey – Bebeto Harvey
Finished in the middle of a tight blanket finish last time out, earning third place just half a length behind the winner. Fully fit and poised to shed his maiden tag based on that effort.
