With no turf racing yesterday at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, the feature event for horses rated 90-70 over 1,200 metres, was contested on the main course. This proved to be no problem for the Harold Chadee-trained speedster, Smart American, which won in impressive fashion by 2 1/4 lengths. The four year-old chestnut colt had won three times this season and returned to the winner's enclosure at odds of 2/1 under Barbadian apprentice Antonio Whitehall. King Whistler, which beat him on two occasion, was behind in second position, while Wild Shuffle ran on for third with Joezel and Fly Junior dead-heating for fourth. Smart American registered the time of 1:05.3 for the trip.
The Glenn Mendez-trained, Raise Your Glass destroyed his classic aspiration when he finished fifth in the fifth event over 1,750 metres. The Deo Maharaj-owned chestnut should have won in a canter but was disappointing behind Lady Sage, which was winning for the second time. Riding honours for the day were shared between Nicholas Patrick and champion Brian Boodramsing as both men rode doubles. Training honour were also shared between Lester Alexis and John O'Brien. Racing continues next Saturday at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
