Score’s Even claims feature, in Digicel horserace meet
Despite rain fall overnight that left the Kennard Memorial Turf Club Bush Lot farm venue in a soggy state the organisers were able to run off the third annual Digicel Horserace Classic on Sunday.
Score’s Even with Richmond well perched, is all alone on the way to win the Feature B class event at the Digicel Horserace meet.
There were some outstanding performances as top horse, Score’s Even of the Dennis DeRoop’s Simple Royal Stable, again won the feature event for the fifth time from 12 starts. While the Jumbo Jet Stable took top honours with three wins and Dookie stable putting in an admirable performance with two first places.
Score’s Even turned another impressive victory to win the feature B class one mile event and romp home with the hefty $2.5M and the Digicel Trophy. In front of an appreciative crowd, the racehorse, a Kentucky bred animal from the United States, once again ridden by jockey Randolph Richmond showed who is boss for another convincing win.
As the animals set off the going was slow and heavy, but the animals plowed through with The Message, Score’s Even, and Swing Easy out early. Swing Easy had the call early with the others breeding down its neck. Into the homestretch there was still a fierce battle with Score Even and Swing Easy up front. However, it was the powerfully built Score’s Even that had enough to surge ahead down the homestretch for the win.
Swing Easy held on for second ahead of Got to Go and the Message.

The Jumbo Jet stable took charge in the Three year old 1mile event with Princess Alicia ridden by Colin Ross winning from Monsoon to take the $1.3M up for offer with Its My Turn and Silent Night rounding out the money.
The Jumbo Jet stable had things its way in the D3 and lower 1200M event with Who Is on the Case with Ross in control winning from Treacle, Silent Lizzy and Country Armagh. The win was worth $900,000.
Unsettled of the Inshan Bacchus stable and trained by Lakeram Sookdeo settled into a nice rhythm as it took home the $700,000 first prize in the Two year old five furlongs event for Guyana and West Indies bred horses from Today’s Is My Day, Royal Empire and Settling Jet.
Treacle of the Deokie Stable with Richmond rode away with the G1 and lower 1 mile event from Captain Crook, Top of the Line and Quiet Storm. The win was worth $700,000 and trophy.
There was a second victory for the Deokie stable with Easy to win taking the ‘I’ and lower seven furlongs race with Richmond on the mount from Cat Messiah, Savion and Party Time worth $325,000.
There was a win for I Want Revenge of the Jumbo Jet Stable in the J2 event, while Royal Intention won the J3 race. All the winners received trophies compliments of Digicel.
