Score’s Even finishes down the order

CP Got Even of the Elcock/Poonai Stable, trained by Colin Elcock and Ridden by Paul Delph, did not only get even with favourite Score’s Even, but ran a brilliant race to defeat the undisputed champion and become the new champion of the track at the Port Mourant Turf Club yesterday. The event was the Jumbo Jet and PMTC organised Guyana Cup Fever one day horserace meet.

Banks DIH Limited Supervisor Nandram Basdeo along with employees Ashanie Williams and Michelle Dougin presents the Beautiful Banks DIH Trophy to representatives of the Elcock stable for CP Got Even telling victory.

It was bound to happen and it was not only the resilience of CP Got Even, but the tactics of the Elcock Stable personnel that combined and defeat the big grey. With the distance more that 1800M it was bound to be a tactical race. Curfew Tower with Yap Drepaul aboard that came out with all guns blazing at the start. That horse was joined by fellow speedsters Diplomatic Cat and Just Call Me Boss going at tremendous burst and taking Score’s Even with them.
It was the perfect race for finishers like CP Got Even and Jack in My Style. True to script, the animals hit the far turn for home and it was CP Got Even that started to make its move. Half way down the homestretch it was CP Got Even that was distancing itself from the rest of the field to win easily by about six lengths. Jack in My Style came through for second with Diplomatic Cat looking good for third and Curfew Tower held on for fourth. Score’s Even after a long time ran out of the money to finished fifth. The win was worth a whopping $1.2M and the beautiful Banks DIH Limited trophy.
Spit Fire of the Sheriff stable burned up the track to win the event for D3 maiden and lower plus four year old animals. Keep on Swinging of the Jumbo Jet Stable bided it time before swinging out in front to take top honours in the event for three year old West Indies bred horses.
