Digital One, Sistren Treasure clash in Liu Poo trophy race
Digital One and Sistren Treasure are set for a massive showdown in today’s feature event the Liu Poo trophy for Overnight Allowance horses over eight furlongs today at Caymanas Park.
Digital One, from the barn of champion trainer Jason daCosta, is to be ridden by leading jockey Tevin Foster, who has been having an excellent season in the saddle.
Digital One has had a brilliant season in her two-year-old career, winning all three starts. However, in her 2024 debut on May 5, she was handed a reality check by Wall Street Trader and the veteran Duke. She finished third in that race, but it was clear that Digital One wasn’t fully wound up for that effort.
After a 34-day break, reports from the training track suggest she has rediscovered her mojo, earning her the edge in this race. Note that
Digital One will race sans visor, a potential equipment change to monitor.
Sistren Treasure, who is trained by veteran Gary Subratie, is to be partnered by former champion jockey Omar Walker in today’s eight-horse field event. She signalled a well-timed return to competitive form with a rallying second-place finish behind Get A Pepsi on May 23. Her affinity for the one-mile trip and recaptured sharpness make her a threat to
Digital One.
Stomp The Rhythm, Neo Star, and Easy As A.B.C are the other main contenders in the event.
Stomp The Rhythm is rapidly gaining experience and maturity at the Overnight Allowance level. While he’s made strides, the competition in this year’s Liu Chi Poo may prove challenging for him to handle.
Neo Star takes a welcome drop in class after testing himself against stakes-calibre runners like Is That A Fact and Atomica. Encouraging morning reports suggest Neo Star has regained his footing, moving smoothly and confidently in preparation for this trophy event. His previous form at this level demands respect, making him a legitimate contender in this event.
Easy As A.B.C has battled back to racing health after a long rehabilitation period and was finally able to find success on local soil. He now takes a timely step up to Overnight Allowance company in good order. His overseas form, which includes two victories, makes this foreign invader an intriguing player in the Liu Chi Poo.
The other horses in the event are Positive One, Johncrowjeff, and D Head Cornerstone.
