The locally-bred juveniles will take centre stage today, when they go to post for the first time in the opening event for two-year-olds over 1,000 metres on the main track at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
My nap in this event is the Derek Mosca-trained Royal Baby which has been showing great speed at exercise. Eight juveniles are expected to to face the starter, and the Jamaican-bred Royal Baby, is expected to be an overwhleming favourite.
Royal Baby has been catching pigeons at exercise and with Richard Perez in the saddle, will take some beating. The only colt in the line-up is The General, stablemate of Royal Baby. This horse has pleased connections. Others which have caught the eyes of work-watchers are Goldmine, from the barn of Dr Griffith and Gottago, from the Douglas Bennett stable.
Post time for the first event today is 12.15 pm.
