Kings Knight reigns supreme at Port Mourant to take Jubilee Independence Cup
Jumbo Jet stable dominates
Director Of Sport Christopher Jones presents the 50th Anniversary trophy to connections of The Jumbo Jet stable for Kings Knight victory in the feature event.
Kings Knight of the Jumbo Jet stable was crowned the new King of the track in Guyana. The animals imported from The USA showed that its previous win which came in its first race meet in Guyana was no fluke by beating a top notch field to take the feature event at the 50th Anniversary Independence Horserace meet.
The event which was held yesterday at the Port Mourant Turf Club track saw top runner CP Got Even pulling out at the last moment due to injuries. However, Kings Knight ridden by jockey Colin Ross showed its class as it ran from in the pack to steam away from its opponents down the homestretch to win by about eight lengths on a track which was made soggy by overnight rain.
For the win Kings Knight ran away with $1.2M and the 50th Independence Anniversary trophy which was presented by Director of Sports Christopher Jones. Princess She Not, Jack in My Style and Golden Blue Echo rounded out the money.
