Horse of The Year 2013, Bigman In Town has been entered for the Grade One – Sandy Lane Gold Cup, to be run off at the Garrison Savannah in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday, March 8.
The Baskaran Bassawh owned horse is the lone T&T entrant in the prestigious Gold Cup.
The John O'Brien trained horse will face ten rivals with the Sir David Seales owned Aristodemus and Dashing David being the top horses he will have to peg back.
Bigman In Town will attempt to replicate the feats of Frisky Wharf and Bold Lewis who both won the event. However, Bigman in Town will have to do even better than those two equine heroes, as he will now be racing right-handed and will have to race on grass. When Firsky Wharf and Bold Lewis won for T&T, racing was on the turf.
Bigman In Town has also been entered for the Grade One–XII Tanglewood Stakes and Trophy on the same day.
Here are the nominated horses for the XXXIII Sandy Lane Gold Cup:
Aristodemus, Areutalkintome, Bigman In Town, Dashing David, Discreetwon, Giovedi, Indian Officer, Kendal Moon, Knight Rider, Jakessam, Shared Adventure.
These are the nominated horses for XII Tanglewood Stakes and Trophy:
