Raddesh Roman: Sir Don has more to give after King’s Plate win

Jockey Raddesh ‘’Sneaky Fox’’ Roman believes Sir Don has more to offer following his dominant win in the 17th running of the $1.25-million King’s Plate on March 29, 2026.

Sir Don delivered a breathtaking display of speed, leaving the competition in the dust in the Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward. The Anthony Nunes trainee stormed to a 6 ¼-length victory in 1:31.2 over seven and a half furlongs (1,500m).

“This horse is very talented and I know he has more scope for improvement,” Roman said.

“He has a lot of talent. I had no worries as I was very comfortable throughout the race. The main objective was to get a good break at the off. He was positioned and very relaxed and when I asked him to run the last furlong and a half, he responded well,” Roman told the
Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide.

Roman guided Sir Don to the lead early, narrowly ahead of American Aviator (Tevin Foster). The two foreigners battled for the lead down the backstretch, but Sir Don pulled away approaching the half-mile (800m) turn and cruised to the finish line.

Rainsville (Tajay Suckoo) and Mark My Identity (Dane Dawkins) rounded out the podium, but it was all about Sir Don as he registered his fourth-career win from six starts on local soil.
