Six horses have been declared to race in the feature event, on Independence Day (August 31) in the Independence Cup which is scheduled for the turf track over 1,800 metres at Santa Rosa Park in Arima.
Last year, Stroke of Luck gave champion trainer John O'Brien yet another Independence Cup winner and this year, he attacks the event with three horses. Double winner Crown Prince will lead the charge in the Independence Cup which is scheduled for the turf track and he will have two stablemates Princess Aruna and the 2022 Derby winner Soca Harmony to ensure an O'Brien sweep.
Making Headlines, which has been sold out from the O'Brien barn, has been galloping well in preparation for this event.
The other two horses are the Lester Alexis-trained pair of Cool Cat and Finishing Touch.
Crown Prince, the four-year-old son of Jouvert/Always A Princess, will attempt to win this race two years straight for owners Raroma Stables.
Here are the horses, jockeys and trainers for Thursday, day 10 of the Arima Race Club (ARC) racing season.
