Night Crescendo owned by Senior Council Marcel Crawford and excellently ridden by Jockey Yap ‘Old boy’ Drepaul ran brilliantly to edge out The Message and take the feature event when the Rising Sun Turf Club in collaboration with the True Friendship Committee successfully held its grand annual one day charity horserace meet last Sunday at the Rising Sun Turf Club, Arima Park, West Coast Berbice.
After a long time a full gate of 11 horses started in the feature B and lower 1400M event and it was Sweet Caramel followed by Night Crescendo and Star Tracer that were out in front early. With Pre race favourite the Message suffering a bad start the race was now an open one. With the large field, it was tough going for those at the back.
Prince Charming made a searing run down the back stretch as it came from the back and challenged the front runners, by then the animals were hitting the far turn in the final straight for home. The Message by then with the experience Paul Delph in the stirrups was doing all that it can to catch the leaders.
As the animals straighten up for home it was now a four horse race, with Night Crescendo timing its move nicely to take the lead as Silver Source, Prince Charming and a fast finishing Message came thundering for the finishing line. The Message which was accelerating like a Rolls Royce and closing rapidly had too much to do as Night Crescendo with enough left in the tank to cross the line by a half a length to take the $400,000 top prize and trophy compliments of banks DIH. Silver Source ended third and Prince Charming fourth.
