KINGSTON, Jamaica - The tenth event on Saturday, August 19, 2023, is Division Two of a three-year-old maiden race at seven furlongs.
Ten horses are set to compete, with the condition that they have not previously finished second or third.
Below is an assessment of the likely outcome from The Quick Galloper.
1 – MONEY BOX is a bay colt (April 22) by Soul Warrior out of Trinket Box. Trained by Gary Subratie with Dane Dawkins in the saddle, MONEY BOX is still in the learning stage of his career.
2 – WATERMAN JOHN is a bay colt (February 7) by Sensational Slam out of Giacomo’s Pride. Trained by Fitzgerald Richards with Tevin Foster aboard, it's worth noting that WATERMAN JOHN races with the blinkers off and the visor on. However, he has been finding it difficult in his five starts to date, and that trend will likely continue.
3 – XYLOPHONIC STEEL is a bay filly (March 24) by Bern Identity out of Kiri. Trained by Khary Tucker with Omar Walker in the saddle, XYLOPHONIC STEEL is making his eighth outing. A better run is expected with a position on the board well within his reach.
4 – JUBBIE WAP WAP is a grey filly (April 19) by Spieth out of Wap. Trained by Michael Thomas with Ramon Nepare aboard, JUBBIE WAP WAP races with the blinkers on. However, at this time, she is unable to deal with these rivals.
5 – AVA’S SUNSHINE is a bay filly (May 17) by Emperor Hall out of Toot The Blues. Trained by Norman Smith with Shane Richardson in the saddle, AVA’S SUNSHINE will learn from this outing.
6 – FEARLESS REINA is a roan filly (May 5) by Fearless Vision out of Hija De Reina. Trained by Gregg Fennell with Reyan Lewis aboard, FEARLESS REINA races with the blinkers off and the visor on. With four starts under her belt, this filly is slowly making progress. The presence of the leading rider suggests she is coming to win.
7 – CLOWNING AROUND is a chestnut colt (March 26) by Patton Proud out of Royal Beauty. Trained by Steven Todd with Raddesh Roman in the saddle, CLOWNING AROUND is not yet ready.
8 – CHARMING SOUND is a grey filly (May 15) by Midnight Hawk out of Naturally Mystical. Trained by Tensang Chung with Matthew Bennett aboard, CHARMING SOUND will continue to learn.
9 – ADORABLE J is a chestnut colt (April 10) by Hedge Fund out of Naseen. Trained by Dale Murphy with Daniel Thompson in the saddle, ADORABLE J is way off his comfort level.
10 – ALWAYS WRIGHT is a bay filly (April 4) by Northern Giant out of Kitty Hawk. Trained by Michael Marlowe with Javaniel Patterson aboard, ALWAYS WRIGHT races with the visor on. This bay filly has only raced three times but is showing promise and should be considered a contender for a top three finish.
