Sheriff stable takes top honours

It was Champtress, the American Bred racehorse, piloted by Yap ‘old Boy’ Drepaul that did the trick and break the jinx to be the first horse in a while to repeat as winner in a feature event, as it took pole position in the main event when the Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club of Bush Lot farm Corentyne successfully held their annual Post Emancipation horses race meet at the club’s track.

This is Drepaul fourth win in the last five feature events.
