Smart Trick the choice in Jockey’s Agent Trophy race
Tomorrow’s 10-race card at Caymanas Park features the running of the $1.1-million Jamaica Jockey’s Agent Trophy going 6 furlongs (1,200m).
The Restricted Allowance contest for three-year-olds (non-winners of two) and imported three-year-olds and upward (maidens) has attracted a field of 11 capable runners, all vying for top honours.
Here’s a breakdown of each runner and their chances of winning:
1. SMALL BOSS: (3 b c by Conquest Cherimash – Princess Sallema) – Unlikely to win.
2. OIL MACHINE: (3 ch c by Bern Identity – Keep the Faith) – Will struggle to keep up.
3. FIRST OFFENSE: (3 b c by Conquest Cherimash – Official Report) – Not expected to challenge for top honours. Note: Lasix removed.
4. HIMAYA: (3 rn f by Casual Trick – Raksha) – Consistent runner who is going to run well.
5. FIRST GRANDSON: (3 b c by Casual Trick – Peyton’s Delight) – Capable of making his presence felt despite a disappointing eighth-place finish on November 23.
6. TIFFANY BLU: (3 b f by Sunshine N Shadow – Great Faith) – A recent winner, but faces a tough task to repeat.
7. RACK DEM: (3 g f by Midnight Hawk – Cherokee Way) – Can be safely ignored.
8. BUSHFIRE: (3 ch c Shackleville – First Flame) – Expected to run an improved race after two unimpressive outings at this level.
9. SMART TRICK: (3 b c by Casual Trick – Crafty Lady) – The horse to beat on paper, Smart Trick should appreciate the shorter distance and is poised for a winning effort.
10. TITAN TEMPO (USA): (3 b c by Maximus Mischief – Star of Johar) – Returns after a 105-day break, Titan Tempo should do well here, having finished third over one mile on August 17.
11. CATALINA PRINCESS (USA): (3 ch f by Catalina Cruiser – Secretary) – Has yet to impress in her two local starts, but is expected to run her best race yet.
