Trainer Bobby Persad can land the 2013 Jetsam Creole Sprinter Indian Medicine in today's 1,100 metres, The Top Of The Class Stakes on the turf course at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
Indian Medicine has not been at her best but with 47.5 kilos and apprentice Richard Angnoo in the saddle, she must be the one to catch. Indian Medicine will be receiving some 10 kilos from the likely favourite Urban Knight and this could work in her favour.
The Glenn Mendez trained Jetsam Award winner Urban Knight makes his seasonal appearance today in the $100,000, where eight horses will face the starter. Urban Knight will take along top-weight of 57.0 kilos with Wilmer Galviz in the saddle and he must be the horse to beat.
However, should Urban Knight not be at his best, then the Jetsam Turf Sprinter of 2013 Indian Medicine will upset the champion.
The 2013 Juvenile champion Soca Rhapsody, which will be ridden by Emile Ramsammy, is also in the line-up and must have an each-way chance. Others in the line-up include turf specialist Heat of The Moment and the unpredictable Market Rally.
The first event on the nine race card of the Arima Race Club (ARC) will begin at noon.
