The Score’s Even owned by Dennis De Roop of the Simple Royal Stable continues to distance itself from the rest of the field as it truly stakes its claim as one of the top racehorses in the country with another impressive victory to win the feature B class event when the Bush Lot United Turf Club held their race meet at the Club’s entity,

In front of an appreciative crowd, Score’s Even, a Kentucky bred animal from the United States, once again ridden by veteran Jockey Desmond Ramkissoon, showed its opponents who is the boss for its second consecutive win and third victory in six starts.
Victory was sweet but not as easy for the champion horse as Score’s Even had to endure a grueling and testing time from California Strike of the Shariff Stable with Jockey Colin Ross on mount. From the start of the race it was evident that the two animals would have distanced themselves from the rest of the field in the 1500M event.
The race started at a blistering pace as the two animals went after each other early and continued throughout at a searing pace with the lead changing hands constantly. Score’s Even made a move coming in to the homestretch as it went to full throttle and opened a slight lead which it maintained till the end with California Strike having none of it and chasing all the way to the finishing line. The Score’s Even took $1M and the Goodwood Racing Service trophy with Marathon Man and Grande De Roja rounded out the money.
The Shariff stable had things its way in the D3 and lower 1200M event as it scuttled away with the top two positions as Diamond Dazzling ridden by Blake and Dubai Duchess with Ross in control taking top honours. The win was worth $500,000 and the Banks DIH Trophy with Rena Del Café and Home Bush baby placing third and fourth.
The Jumbo Jet stable took charge in the Three year old 1500M event with Serenity ridden by Rad Drepaul winning from stable mate Rosetta to take the $450,000 and the F. Yunas family trophy up for offer with Red Cloud third.
It’s My Turn with Rad Drepaul on mount took its turn in winning the $350,000 first prize and the Dennis De Roop trophy in the Two year old 1000M event for Guyana and West Indies bred horses from stable mate Silver Jet with Junior in another one two for the Jumbo Jet connections from Ameera’s Joy and The Wild Grinder.
The winning ways continued for the Jumbo Jet connections when Appealing Harvest ridden by Junior rode away with the G class 1000M race in a close finish from Traditional man, Damascus Dream and Captain Crook. The win was worth $300,000 and the Da Silva Family Trophy.

The K class 1000M event with a first prize of $80,000 was won by Sugar Boy of the Sooklall stable.
