The Quick Galloper reminds readers of the 2023 The Portmore, to find out where are the 12 participants at the present stage of their respective careers.

This review is done in finishing order.

1.  Thalita went on to achieve Classic glory by winning the 10-furlong Jamaica St Leger. After her Classic win, Thalita had to take time off from racing due to injuries but she has recently returned to morning exercise. She galloped four furlongs just last weekend and it seems like she'll be racing again soon.

2.  Mamma Mia, who completed the quinella for trainer Jason DaCosta, was the first of her cohort to win a Classic event, the 1000 Guineas. She became the only one of her three-year-old lot to achieve double Classic triumph with a commanding performance in the 10-furlong Jamaica Oaks. Mamma Mia's best run to date came in the Grade One, Mouttet Mile, where she led for most of the way against seasoned horses, eventually finishing third. She recently won and continues to race in the top grades.

3.  Aria’s Reign, who finished third in The Portmore race, hasn't been active for a while.
