Tough choice between Atomica, Runaway Algo for Jamaica Cup

Tough choice between Atomica, Runaway Algo for Jamaica Cup

It's tempting to get caught up in the Atomica versus Runaway Algo argument as the third staging of the $6-million Jamaica Cup main race takes place today at Caymanas Park. Their portfolios have been exceptional this season, making it tough to select an overall victor. Atomica, trained by Gary Subratie, made her seasonal debut on April 8 over a…

THERE were two interesting ads in the official form book. Firstly, advising the recommended training fees now stand at $3500 per day to address the increase in the grooms' weekly wages to $5000 per horse. The $1.3-billion gap between owners' collective support of the horse population, therefore, continues to widen with only around $700 million…

Jamaica Oaks Race Day Review

OVER the 64 years of racing at Caymanas Park there have been bizarre decisions by the promoting companies. At the top of the list is the 2019 decision to stage the Jamaica Derby and the Jamaica Oaks 48 hours apart.

Jason DaCosta's Mamma Mia, the 1000 Guineas winner, and Richard Azan's 2000 Guineas conqueror Mojito, were both hunting what would have been the second jewel in the Triple Crown series, but Thalita, also conditioned by DaCosta, spoiled the party, as she copped the 97th running of the Jamaica St Leger in commanding fashion on Saturday.

It is lamentable that even on public holidays there is weak spectator support for the 2023 version of the Sport Of Kings. In fact, attendance has not increased significantly since to the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions, and the obvious conclusion is that radio commentary, off track betting, closed-circuit TV, and live streaming is the…

Early afternoon on the day was especially quiet as only a small gathering of patrons was on hand to witness the opening event.

There is no doubt the late Hubert "Chinna" Bartley was among the finest local jockeys to have graced the profession in the history of horse racing in Jamaica. A three-time champion (1983, 1986, 1991), Bartley, a taciturn character who did not interact much with the spectators a la the likes of Emilio Rodriquez and Dane Nelson as well as others,…
