Maniram "Boboy' Maharaj can continue his winning ways today, when he saddles Blackstone Street in the feature event at Santa Rosa Park, this afternoon. Maharaj, basking in the glory of his Independence Cup success with First To Fly, can again claim top honours when he saddles top-weighted, Blackstone Street and Back On Top in the feature 1,750 metres event for three-year-old and over, rated 100-80. The former Stewards Cup winner, has been at his best for some time now but with the Maharaj stables returning to good form, Blackstone Street could regain the winning thread at the main expense Strikes Not Spares, which will be seeking to land back-to-back victories.
Last time out, the Christopher Prime trained Strikes Not Spares came with a determined run to get the better of Cubic Capacity, which is again in the line-up. The Derick Mosca trained Burst Of Energy is expected to go close. However, the Harold Chadee-trained spedster, El Bandido De Oro could go all the way, if given an uncontested lead. Post time for the first event on Day 28 of the Arima Race Club's eight race presentation is 12.45 pm.
