BOUNCE, MARVELLOUS MARVA RELEASE MAIDEN TAGS

Bounce and Marvellous Marva released their maiden tags on the 10-race programme at Caymanas Park last Saturday.

Trained by Borris McIntosh and ridden by Ruja Lahoe, Bounce (Taqarub – Lady Suhaagraat), at odds of 12-1 finished strong in the last two furlongs of the 1,000-metre straight event to win by oneand- a-half lengths over Patch and Seeking The Dawn in 59.0 seconds.

With Oneil Mullings riding for Philip Feanny, Marvellous Marva (Adore The Gold – Runaway Julie) made all convincingly to win her 1,000-metre straight event by six-and-a-half lengths over Prince Kamali and Runaway Gal in 58.3 seconds.

MUIR CONTINUES GOOD FORM OVERSEAS

Jamaican jockey Shamaree Muir continued to enjoy good form when he guided the Tom Rycroft-conditioned Saveitforarainyday to victory in the CAN$50,000 Sturgeon River Stakes in fine style at Northlands Park in Edmonton, Canada last Saturday.

Eight of the 12 races offered on the day were Stakes races and Muir made sure he went home with a trophy, his third Stakes race in Canada in his first season. Fellow Jamaican Dane Nelson, who had secured eight rides, was winless.

“Winning races on the international scene is always going to be good for the development of any local riders. I am here just making full use of this opportunity given to me to the best of my ability.

“I just want to win races, as many as I can. The experience is good and I am learning each day,” Muir told the Complete Racing Guide.
