Coast Berbice on Sunday.
The feature 1600M event lived up to expectations as the race was fast paced and hotly contested throughout. Out of the starting gates they raced with Diamond Dazzling shining brightly in front with the rest of the field breeding down its neck. Into the back stretch it was Fresh Again that took up the running with a fresh burst of speed. Diamond Dazzling came back for more and took the lead with Zelick and stable mate Miss Karina with Andron Findley on board coming into connection.
It was relentless pressure after that with Zelick taking over down the homestretch as it cantered home for its second win in a feature event and the $500,000 winner’s money and the Banks DIH trophy. Miss Karina, Fresh Again and Diamond Dazzling occupied the other places. The competition was so intense that during the race top horse Serenity of the Jumbo Jet Stable collapsed and passed away.
However the day belong to Mr. Gansham Singh’s Guyana bred three year old champion runner Cat Messiah as it purred its way to the top and sermonize its opponents in two dominating performances with convincing victories.   To sum up its performance – One horse, two jockeys, two wins, champion horse, champion stable and champion trainer was indeed a noteworthy accomplishment.
The animal lived up to all its pre-race billing as it first took out opponents in the J and lower 1200M event. Ridden by Junior Sookhan it first toyed with its opponents before galloping away, increasing a lead by every step to take the $180,000 first prize and trophy by about 10 lengths from Mary Ann, Windy Killer and Speed Vision.
Cat Messiah like a true biblical character returned to lead then all in the I3 and lower1200M race this time with Ravindra Ramnauth aboard for an even more convincing victory and take the $240,000 first prize and trophy and royalty that came with it from Mary Ann and Royal Princess.
Swing Easy of the Shariff stable with Colin Ross on the perch was fast to the draw as it swung out in front and maintained the lead for an easy gate to pole win in the F3 and lower 1400M race from Traditional Man and Appealing Harvest.   The win was worth $360,000 and trophy.
The G and lower 1200M event with a first prize of $300,000 and trophy was hotly contested with Captain Crook of the Jumbo Jet stable and jockeyed by Rad Drepaul piloting its way to victory. Traditional Man, Rosetta and Red Cloud rounded out the money.
Magga Line owned ridden and trained by Rupert Appadhu was strong as it took the $140,000 and trophy in the K and lower 1200M event from Wicked Revenge, Lady Secret and Alana.
The Gansham Singh stable ran away with all the individual awards copping the champion stable, champion horse with Cat Messiah, champion trainer with Shawn “Foliar” Bharrat and champion jockey accolades which went to Ravindra Ramnauth compliments of the organisers.
Over 70 horses took part in the day’s activity with some $6.5M in prizes and trophies available.
The day’s activity was incident free with the police coming in for special commendation for doing an excellent job.   (Samuel Whyte)
