Given the racing conditions and her running style, seven-year-old American-bred bay mare Champion Bubbler looks the prime candidate to win this afternoon’s feature event, the $1.25-million George HoSang Trophy.

The Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward will run over five furlongs (1,000m) straight and will see Champion Bubbler taking on 13 other runners in what is expected to be a thrilling event.

Trained by the capable Spencer Chung, Champion Bubbler has a proven track record, especially on the straight five-furlong course. Her last win came over this distance on May 3, 2025 when she outpaced Pack Plays and Is That A Fact, showcasing her exceptional speed and stamina.

She has two runs under her girth this season and on those occasions she finished in second place. Champion Bubbler finished 9 lengths behind the out-of-class Nautical Star in the St Catherine Cup (6 furlongs) on January 17, and before that she was beaten by 4 ¾ lengths by Zulu Warrior.

With Tevin Foster partnering her at 54.0kgs (119lb), Champion Bubbler has the track bias in her favour, drawn at post-position 11. Her ability to stalk and finish strong makes her the top contender.

The race is positioned as the 10th and final event on the day, with a post time of 5:30 pm. First race is at 11:35 am.

Other horses to watch include Another One, Unruly Mo, and Bulletproofcoffee, who could challenge Champion Bubbler’s bid for victory.

Another One finished third behind Zulu Warrior and Champion Bubbler at this distance on January 3. He has the class and talent to challenge for top honours despite Champion Bubbler’s presence. His last win came at today’s distance, beating Commander Z by a short head in 58.3 seconds on December 14, 2025.

Unruly Mo, a four-year-old American-bred bay colt, has run decent races over this distance in the past. If he focuses well enough, he can earn a piece of the cake here.

Bulletproofcoffee always runs best over straight course. She has raced seven times last season, winning two races, and those two victories were over the straight course at five furlongs. Bulletproofcoffee has worked fairly well and is expected to run accordingly.
