Sensational Move impressive in Reggae Month Trophy feature
Sensational Move, the Gary Subratie-conditioned four-year-old chestnut colt, co
ntinued to show vast improvement with an impressive win in the $1.4-million Reggae Month Trophy feature race over five furlongs (1,000m) straight on Saturday, February 17, 2024.
Sensational Move faced off against his brilliant stablemate Desert of Malibu, as well as Madelyn’s Sunshine and Emperofthecats, who was unbeaten in the straight, but the Sensational Slam – Money Move offspring made it look easy winning by five lengths at the wire in the Open Allowance level, his first time competing at this grade.
It was by far Sensational Move’s finest performance to date in a time of 59.2 (22.3 x 46.2), winning his second-consecutive race from three starts this season.
With Dane Dawkins in the irons, replacing Raddesh Roman, Sensational Move raced just off the pace as Emperorofthecats (Richard Henry) showed the way ahead of
A Gift From Ben (Paul Francis) and Yellowstone (Romario Spencer).
Coming across the dummy rails, Sensational Move challenged for the lead before turning on the afterburners and sprinting clear for an easy win. Emperorofthecats finished in second place while Madelyn’s Sunshine (Tevin Foster) came from behind runners to get third place.
Desert of Malibu (Raddesh Roman) reared shortly after leaving the starting gates but never recovered, finishing in fourth place.
