Six juveniles vie for $1.01-million in Maiden Special Weight contest
The second two-year-old race of the season is scheduled for tomorrow. The $1.01-million Maiden Special Weight contest is set to feature six talented runners, comprising both native-bred and imported juveniles, competing over a distance of three furlongs (600m).
Here’s a breakdown of each contender’s prospects:
1. COMUNA TRECE (USA): (2 b c by Maximum Security – My Anguilla) – This well-bred foreigner has been working well for the race and is expected to run a strong performance based on his exercise gallops. With a solid pedigree and impressive training form, Comuna Trece is a horse to watch.
2. BRODY’S UNITY (USA): (2 b c by Brody’s Cause – Bagatelle Park) – Unfortunately, this colt isn’t expected to do well in the race. Despite his promising breeding, Brody’s Unity hasn’t shown the same level of form as some of his competitors.
3. NOVIO (USA): (2 ch c by Goldencents – Ol Sanish) – This nicely bred colt who has been training well for the race, making him a potential winner. Novio’s impressive exercise reports and strong breeding make him a dark horse in the competition.
4. INFINITY STAR (USA): ([2 b f by Greenpointcrrusader – Batmitzvah) – This filly might need some time to develop and may not be at her best for this race. While she has a promising pedigree, Infinity Star may be better suited for future races.
5. FERNANDO: (2 ch c by Successful Native – Dancing Queen) – The lone local bred in the line-up,
Fernando was scratched from his intended debut on August 2 but is expected to run well despite facing stiff competition. As a local talent, Fernando’s performance will be closely watched.
6. WHATASPUN (USA): ([2 b c by Spun to Run – Miss Foo Foo) – This colt seems to have some ability and is expected to make a bold bid in the race. With a strong pedigree and impressive breeding, Whataspun could be a contender for the win.
