Mission Accomplished! That's what Brian Harding must have been saying, after he steered Lawbreaker and Oriental Appeal home in the feature St James and St Ann's Stakes yesterday, at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. Harding shot Lawbreaker out of the stalls and the Mohali Stables owned, Jamaican bred two-year-old never saw another rival, when winning the grade two co-feature, St James Stakes over 1,350 metres.
Punters sent the John O'Brien-trained juvenile off as the 1/5 favourite and he won impressively by 10 3/4 lengths from stablemate Alexander in the time of 1:22.17. At the corner, Harding gave the son of Western Classic/Lawless the office and he quickened away impressively to win, while becoming the top juvenile in training for the 2010 season. Stablemate, Alexander stayed on for second in the sloppy conditions to relegate newcomer Loan Shark from the Douglas Bennett stable to third. D Girlz Dem Sugar could only finish fourth.
Harding had to work a bit harder on Oriental Appeal who joined the leader, Captain Crook 600 metres out and took control. Once in line for home, the Jamaican-bred Oriental Appeal never looked likely to be caught but there were two newcomers which got closest to the favourite. Big Mama stayed on for second with Tyler's Gold in third. Oriental Appeal recorded the time of 1:25.19 for the trip which was some three seconds slower than the time recorded by Lawbreaker. Clearly, Harding's decision not to ride in Caracas, Venezuela, paid handsome dividends.
Both features were won by Jamaican-bred juveniles. The Glenn Mendez-trained Cactus Amour was beaten by the improving Montejo, despite a change of rider and a three-kilo claim. Montejo took up the running at halfway and, though Cactus Amour challenge from 500 metres out, he could never get to grips with the ready winner of the Stakes and Lower Handicap over 1,800 metres. Riding honours for the day were shared among Brian Harding, Ricky Jadoo and Freddy Manrrique, who each rode two winners. Training honours for the day were also shared between veteran, Juan Mosca, John O'Brien and Douglas Bennett who sadled two winners each. Racing continues next week at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
