Patience pays off as Supernatural Power storms back in St Elizabeth Distaff

Trainer Adrian Prince knew exactly what he had been nursing for almost four months, and when Supernatural Power returned to Caymanas Park on Monday, October 19, 2026, the conditioner watched his filly turn patience into power with a dominant 7-length romp in the $1.5-million St Elizabeth Distaff.

The USA-bred filly, sent off in the Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward fillies and mares over a mile (1,600m), showed no signs of ring-rustiness as she clocked 1:38.3 to easily put away her rivals.

Ridden by Demar Williams, Supernatural Power recorded her second win for the season from five starts.

At the off, Williams held Supernatural Power just off the early pace in third position and allowed Miss MoneyPenny (Shaheen Gordon) to set the fractions ahead of Main Mistress (Tajay Suckoo). The pair dictated early, but it was only a matter of time. Supernatural Power soon crept forward to join the leaders, with the three briefly racing almost abreast down the backstretch.

Approaching the half-mile marker (800m), Williams gave her the nod — and she kicked clear. From that point, the outcome was never seriously in doubt. Turning for home with a clear lead, Supernatural Power turned on the pressure in deep stretch and powered away under the wire. Main Mistress held second, with Dream Catcher (Tevin Foster) third.

For Prince, it was vindication of a long, careful comeback.

“I got this horse, she had a couple of issues, I put her down, sorted her out, brought her back to the drawing board, and this afternoon we had success with her. The instructions to the jockey were to get a clean break at the start, put her together and the last three furlongs ask her to run,” Prince said.

Williams said the filly did it with something in reserve.

“I know this horse very well and I knew that she was out of her class because she is a very good horse. So I just got a good break, positioned her well on the backstretch and then rode her up the straight.

“She was quite early, which is not normally her style, but she wanted to make a move leaving the half-mile, so I said, ‘Let’s go,’ and she went from there,” Williams said.
