Trainer Michael Marlowe attributed his success in saddling three winners on Sunday, March 29, 2026, to his dedication and perseverance towards the sport.

Marlowe started his celebration party in the opening event when his charge
Slam Sharp easily won the Restricted Allowance V contest for native-bred four-year-olds and upward (non-winners of two) over 6 furlongs (1,200m).

With Tevin Foster in the saddle, Slam Sharp (Sensational Slam – Peggy’s Vision) won by 1 ¼ lengths ahead of  Big La (Romario Spencer) and Cosalivin (Raddesh Roman) in 1:15.1.

His second winner came in the fourth race with six-year-old bay mare Always Wright, who was a 5-length winner of the three-year-old and upward Optional Claiming ($350,000-$250,000) event that included six-year-olds and upward (non-winners of four) over one mile (1,600m).

Always Wright, ridden by Richie Shakes, got home ahead of BubblingBrownSugar (Rudolph Paige) and Sir Wong Don (Shaheem Gordon) in a time of 1:44.4.

The cap came in the seventh race when Planner, ridden by Foster, ran out an easy 4-¼ length winner in the maiden condition race for native-bred five-year-olds and upward over 6 furlongs. Planner won ahead of C W Treasure (Javaniel Patterson) andTime Bomb (Richie Shakes) in 1:18.3.

“It’s a beautiful day for me today,” he said, beaming with pride.

“I thought I was going to win five races because we had a second and a third as well. But when you work hard and get a day like this, it’s just wonderful,” Marlowe told the Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide.

Marlowe, who’s known for his attention to detail and commitment to developing young talent, has been working tirelessly to build a stable that can compete in the business.

“As the years go by, you need young horses every year,” he explained.

“If you can get like six, seven, eight, nine, or 10 young horses then you are in the game because the older ones get a little sored, tired, and hardly can compete. Things are getting much better for me,” Marlowe further said.

One horse that’s catching his eye is American-bred Any Means, a runner he’s confident has major potential.

“I have high hopes for him. I haven’t squeezed him as yet, and so I have him as a good one in the making. The Teacha, a horse that beat Any Means previously, has also shown promise, with trainer Jason DaCosta having high hopes for him as well,” he ended.
