It’s the locals versus the foreigners
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Many question regarding the readiness and competence of some of the three-year-olds will be answered tomorrow in what seems to be a competitive non-winners of two races for three-years. Journeying over seven furlongs, local and foreign bred three-year-old face the starter tomorrow (Saturday, February 26, 2022).
Number one is SHADOWFAX a bay colt by Legal Progress out of Aretha, who did not perform as well as expected in non-two after releasing the maiden tag on January 8. The best Shadowfax can hope for is a place on the board.
Number two is the US bred LUKSOL, a bay filly by Tapiture out of Stunning Taste. This importee has raced four times, finishing second on three occasions. Luksol seems to be more the sprinting kind, making seven furlongs a bit difficult to deal with at this time in her career.
Number three is the US bred GILBERT, a chestnut colt by Jack Milton out of Causin A Storm. Gilbert along with his foreign mate Luksol is one of three horses in the contest without a tick in the win column. There is no doubt that Gilbert, who has already finished in front of Luksol, is starting to progress and is in with a good chance of winning.
Number four is RORAIMA a bay colt by Bern Identity out of Classic Princess, who came into the three-year-old reckoning with an eye-catching winning effort at a mile on January 29. This Roraima will in no way be inconvenienced by seven, and truth be told, he might find the trip a trifle short. Roraima is definitely one to watch tomorrow and beyond.
Number five is OUR ANGEL a bay filly by Savoy Stomp out of My Angel. This filly is racing for the first instance since winning on December 19 of last year. Given her long absence from competitive racing (69 days), Our Angel might need at least this run to get attuned with the grade. Our Angel races with the visor on.
Number six is OUTBIDDER a bay filly by Savoy Stomp out of Rumble. This well-bred filly came to the fore 41 days ago when she broke her maiden the second time of asking on January 16. Outbidder then clocked 1:13.3 for six furlongs, defeating Rupunzel and Dujour without breaking a sweat, and since then Rupunzel has gone on to win. This race will demonstrate whether or not Outbidder has classic credentials with seven furlongs not posing a problem.
Number seven is RAINSVILLE a grey colt by Casual Trick out of Fiftyshadowsofray. Rainsville is an interesting entry. This colt has raced twice, which includes a victory over a mile on December 4, 2021. Rainsville, therefore, returns after a break of 84 days and with her trainer putting on the tongue tie, he is expected to get the distance without fuss and will do his best in the last two furlongs. Rainsville has been training well and a good effort is in store. But let’s wait and see.
Number eight is the US bred WOWZA a dark bay colt by Jack Milton out of Springtime Rain. This US-bred colt has yet to make a mark in his three races to date and that trend is set to continue.
