Don Kwesi announces arrival with Harlequin Cup victory

Without a doubt, Don Kwesi (Sensational Slam – Lookatmenow) is quickly emerging as one of Caymanas Park’s most exciting prospects. The four-year-old bay colt stamped his class on Saturday, May 30, 2026, taking the second running of the $1.4-million Harlequin Cup over five and a half furlongs (1,100m) for his third consecutive win.

Stepping into Open Allowance company for the first time, Barrington Bernard’s trainee Din Kwesi passed the test with authority.

Content to settle off a sharp early pace set by California Crown (Robert Halledeen) and Desert of Malibu (Dane Dawkins), Don Kwesi and rider Demar Williams began to close on the leaders approaching the distance. Unleashing a devastating turn of foot inside the final furlong, he swept past rivals and drew off to score by 1 ¾ lengths. California Crown held on for second, with Zulu Warrior (Tyrese Anderson) completing the trifecta.

Don Kwesi stopped the clock in 1:06.0 (22.4 x 46.2 x 59.2), signalling he’s ready to mix it with the track’s top runners.

— Ruddy Allen
