KINGSTON, Jamaica – Both Jamaican entries in the Caribbean Classic which was just run at Gulfstream Park in Florida, USA, Juice Man and 2019 Triple Crown winner Supreme Soul failed to hit the board in the nine-furlong event.
Juice Man ridden by Christian Torres was prominent throughout the race but faded in the straight while Supreme Soul ridden by Jairo Rendon was never a winning factor in the entire event. In the end, Juice Man finished sixth to earn two per cent of the total purse of US$300,000 for his connections while Supreme Soul ended in eighth position.
The race was won by the Venezuelan bred The Brother Slew who was the longest shot on the board at 45-1. The Brother Slew who was ridden by Paco Lopez clocked 1:51.76 for the nine-furlongs of the race. The Brother Slew is owned and trained by Paul Valery.
Second went to Gran Omero ridden by Javier Castellano with the third spot being occupied by Turpin Time with Jose Lezcano aboard.
After the race there was a stewards’ inquiry and jockey’s objection by Castellano against the winner but the stewards in their official statement said that while there was interference that interference did not impact on the result.
