Regional flavour for Trinidad's Guineas
Published: Friday | May 29, 2009
Jamaican jockey Allen Maragh and Barbadian Chris Husbands have secured mounts in this weekend's rich Carib Brewery Guineas horse race at Santa Rosa Park that is regionally flavoured.
Florida-based Maragh will partner Jamaica-bred Enchanted Alex and gifted Barbadian Husbands will take Achilles of Troy to the starting gates in the TT$315,000 (US$51,800) Guineas over 1800 metres on Saturday afternoon
Enchanted Alex, bred - Law of the Sea out of Doctor Bird - by HAM Stables Limited, won the St Ann's Stakes last December and was champion two-year-old filly for 2008.
Husbands, who brilliantly won the 2006 Royal Oak Trinidad Derby astride Sara's Music, rides Achilles of Troy for the Barbadian trainer William Clarke.
