When the fifth nom­i­na­tion closed on Wednes­day for the pres­ti­gious Stew­ards Cup event, a to­tal of $17,250.00 was col­lect­ed.

To date, none of the ten con­tenders have pulled out which means that pun­ters and fans alike can ex­pect a very in­ter­est­ing and com­pet­i­tive event.

The speedy fil­ly C’est La Vie will at­tack the Sprint Cham­pi­onship for the first time. We have seen up­sets in this race be­fore and maybe, we can have one this year.

How­ev­er, the im­pres­sive 2023 Der­by win­ner In The Head­lines, who has al­so won this year’s “Triple Crown, event will put her five-race un­beat­en record on the line, when she takes on nine ri­vals in the Sprint Cham­pi­onship of the South­ern Caribbean - the Stew­ards Cup which will be con­test­ed 1,200 me­tres on De­cem­ber 2 at San­ta Rosa Park, Ari­ma.

When the nom­i­na­tions were tak­en, it was clear that we will have a first-time win­ner as the 2022 win­ner Gen­er­al JN was been re­tired from rac­ing by his own­er Jer­ry Narace.

The Ladies Sta­ble-owned fil­ly, In The Head­lines, will prove very dif­fi­cult to beat in this event as she will be re­ceiv­ing weight from every ri­val. Though she has not been seen at the gal­lops for a while the cham­pi­on fil­ly has been swim­ming and will prove dif­fi­cult to get by.

How­ev­er, the 2022 Stew­ards Cup run­ner-up Top of The Game has been prepar­ing for this race and is ex­pect­ed to go close. He has been win­ning friends at the gal­lops and must en­ter cal­cu­la­tions. Last Sun­day, he raced over 800 me­ters in 49 sec­onds. He is ready to take on the John O’Brien camp.

Cham­pi­on train­er O’Brien will send out five nom­i­nat­ed hors­es in the likes of Crown Prince, In The Head­lines, So­ca Har­mo­ny, Princess Aruna, and Su­per Bird for this event.

An­oth­er for­mer cham­pi­on train­er Glenn Mendez will send out his speed­ball Mar­vel Vig­or to chal­lenge for ho­n­ours in the pres­ti­gious event.

The oth­er hors­es nom­i­nat­ed for this event are C’est La Vie (own­er Dale Kalloo), Just Ex­hale (own­er Lance Warn­er), and Mak­ing Head­lines, who is owned by Ramesh Ram­lal.
