…Ritorna Vincentori, John Bull steals the show
Kaieteur Sports – Slingerz Racing Stable once again stamped its authority on the local racing circuit, storming to victory at Sunday’s J’s Summer Stakes hosted at the Bush Lot United Turf Club, West Coast Berbice (WCB).
The highlight of the day came in the feature one-mile Summer Stakes, where Slingerz’ newly acquired four-year-old bay colt from Brazil, Ritorna Vincentori, piloted by jockey Chavez, romped to an emphatic win.
The Brazilian import thundered past the finish line ahead of Spankhurst and Anthem King, leaving no doubt about his class and potential.
