Carrying the mantle of Jamaica’s champion two-year-old of 2025, We Jammin steps into the spotlight once again, this time as a three-year-old, on Sunday, March 1, at Caymanas Park. His reappearance is not only eagerly awaited but also significant, as he faces older rivals, including imported contenders for the very first time.

The race is for locally bred three- and four-year-olds who have not yet won four races lifetime, alongside imported horses aged three and up who remain winless beyond three victories going seven furlongs.

Below is a closer look at each starter’s prospects. Not in post-position order.

AMERICAN AVIATOR

This imported runner announced himself with authority on January 10, cruising to a seven-length victory over the same distance at Sunday’s contest, clocking a respectable 1:25.4. That effort suggested genuine ability, especially with his gate speed and front-running style. However, his follow-up on February 7 was disappointing, last of five, never threatening. The inconsistency raises questions, and while his best form makes him dangerous, he may be better suited to shorter trips.

PRINCE ROY

The gulf in class is evident. Prince Roy has shown little to suggest he can win here.

BIG BUZZ

Last time out, Big Buzz chased home Prodigious Power over 6½ furlongs, finishing second, six lengths adrift. That effort showed he can race prominently, but it also highlighted his limitations. He is expected to be in the mix early but unlikely to trouble the main contenders when the pace quickens.

MULLIGAN MAN

The US-bred Mulligan Man is one to watch. On February 8, in just his second start, he removed the blinkers and produced a polished performance over 5½ furlongs, coming from off the pace to win by three lengths. That victory hinted at stamina reserves and adaptability, suggesting he will thrive at middle distances. His progression is encouraging, and he has a live chance of doubling his tally here.

MISS MARBELLA (USA)

This foreigner scored her third win on Ash Wednesday (February 18) coing down the five straight chute. Has not raced longer that six furlongs in her last eight starts. Miss Marbella will have to wait.

WE JAMMIN

The headline act. We Jammin’s entry has surprised many, as conventional wisdom suggested he would remain within age-group company until after the Classic season concluded in August. Instead, his connections have opted for a sterner test, one that will reveal much about his true potential. His juvenile campaign was commendable. On debut, he tackled the demanding seven-furlong trip, a distance rarely attempted by first-timers and won in fighting fashion. He followed up in the prestigious Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, stretching out to a mile and dismissing his rivals with ease. Now, as he faces older horses and imports, the stakes are higher. Victory would confirm his status as a special talent. Even a strong showing without winning would reinforce his readiness for the Classics and beyond. All eyes will be fixed on him come Sunday.
