‘Lucky Gold’ looking to end the year with more gold
After registering its first victory in the horseracing circle in Guyana, the two year old Bay Colt, Lucky Gold of the Mootoo Stable will be looking to continue in the same vein and extend the winning streak when it takes to the track today in the events for two years old horses.
Lucky Gold in front with Jockey Chandra onboard on the outside, distances itself from its opponents in the Two year old non winners event to take the win at the KMTC meet.
The animal was in winner’s row on Boxing Day at the KMTC horserace meet in the two year old event for non winners over 5Furlongs. Ridden by the experienced Prem Chandra, Lucky Gold did not depend on luck but class as it romped home unchallenged, battering its rivals to snatch the gold worth $250,000 and trophy for its first win.
Owned by Indira Sukdeo and trained by Sanjeev Mootoo, the animal of No30 Village West Coast Berbice has been improving all the time and among the money in the last few meets in took part in.
According to the owner the animal seems to have now hit good form. The trainer Mootoo said, “Like people and anything else some animals take longer to develop, but when they do, its trouble.” He stated that, “As a trainer and training horses over the years you spot defects early and try to correct them as early as possible. With the right kind of food which includes a number of different mixtures and the right exercise the animal can reach the top.”
The animal trains at various venues on the West Coast of Berbice including Rising Sun, Bush Lot United and No6 depending on where it has to race and the type of races it will be involved in. The event also will dictate the type of training it has to undertake.
Apart from competing in the two year old category it also competes in the J, K and L classes, but with its recent win it will definitely be moving up in class.
