Dr Train, the promising three-year-old offspring of Liquidity, has been a source of worry for trainer Harry Parsard especially with his preparation for the Jamaica Derby following his maiden victory in a 1,300-metre race in which he got injured.

However, Dr Train has recovered sufficiently over the last couple of weeks and is expected to perform well in the Cal’s Manufacturing Limited-sponsored Jamaica Derby, one of the country’s most exciting sporting and social events of the year, to be run at Caymanas Park tomorrow.

Despite this drawback, the highly thought of Dr Train was still nominated to run in the Derby by Parsard, although Dr Train could not be hard trained. Nonetheless, with the little training he received, he showed up prominently and made positive late headway in his next race going 1,820 metres, to finish third behind winner, Mr Doitbetta.

The effort seemed to have taken a toll on his well-being at the time, seeing that he was unable to train properly, and he subsequently failed to fire when competing in the Lotto Classic for the Governor’s Cup going 2,000 metres last month.

Tenacious as they come, Dr Train, who is bred by Dr Patrick Graham, was retooled by his trainer and brought back to the track for his final prep race going 1,820 metres where he finished third behind Pinelope, who will also compete in three-year-olds’ premier Classic event.

He bled in his final race and will now run on Lasix. And for his most important three-year-old career effort, Dr Train has been extensively prepared and has responded well in his gallops much to the encouragement of Parsard.

“Now that he will run on Lasix, I am expecting a vastly improved effort from Dr Train,” Parsard informed.

Parsard believes that the distance of 12 furlongs will be of great advantage for his charge.

“Dr Train is bred for the journey, so that won’t be a problem. It will be to his advantage and I am expecting him to give a good account of himself,” Parsard said.
