Mojito headlines competitive field in $3-million Bruceontheloose Trophy
Tomorrow’s $3-million Bruceontheloose Trophy promises to be an exhilarating contest, with 2022 champion, two-year-old Mojito, returning to face a talented field of three-year-olds and upward over 6 ½ furlongs (1,300m).
Here’s a closer look at each contender and their chances of emerging victorious.
1. MONEY MARKET: (4 b c by Successful Native – Soca Dancer) – A recent winner, but faces a stiff challenge to repeat against this competitive field. ODDS: 12-1.
2. ATLANTIC CONVOY (CAN): (4 ch c by Stormy Atlantic – My Sweet Emily
) – Although his recent form has been modest, Atlantic Convoy has been training well and could recapture his previous success. Note: Tongue-tie on; Figure-8 on. ODDS: 7-2.
3. MOJITO: (4 gr c by Savoy Stomp – Fiftyshadesofray) – Made a triumphant return to competitive racing on November 2, destroying rivals by 9 lengths over 6 furlongs in 1:12.3. Mojito has been working well and could make it two wins from two starts this season. ODDS: 4-5.
4. MADELYN’S SUNSHINE (USA): (5 dk b/br m by Joe’s Son Joey – Madelyn’s Finest) – Although stretching out might be a concern, Madelyn’s Sunshine boasts the class and talent to make a significant impact. ODDS: 7-1.
5. MAJOR DANGER (USA): (4 b c by Majestic City – Clean Eleven) – Disappointed in the recent Port Royal Sprint, finishing sixth by 8 ½ lengths over 6 furlongs. However, Major Danger has the potential to bounce back and is expected to do much better here. ODDS: 9-2.
6. POWER FROM ABOVE: (4 ch f by Key to Power – Blufield) – Fresh from winning the St Elizabeth Distaff over one mile, Power From Above faces a new challenge. Unfortunately, this shorter trip is likely to prove inadequate for her, and she may struggle to keep pace. ODDS: 25-1.
7. PRESS CONFERENCE: (6 ch g by Twilight Time – Lady Shnkari) – Unlikely to pose a threat in this competitive field. ODDS: 75-1.
8. FEARLESS SOUL: (4 ch c by Soul Warrior – Rumble) – Faces a daunting task and is highly unlikely to win. ODDS: 99-1.
9. PERFECT BREW (5 b c by Bern Identity – Moonlight Brew) – A capable runner who scored an impressive win over 5 ½ furlongs two starts back in 1:06.4. If he can replicate that performance, Perfect Brew has a legitimate chance of winning. ODDS: 3-1.
10. SENSATIONAL MOVE: (4 ch c by Sensational Move – Money Move) – A minor placing appears to be his best hope in this event. ODDS: 10-1
