The Glenn Mendez trained 'talking horse' Patriot Legend will try to keep his unbeaten record intact when he goes to post for Saturday's feature event, the Grade Two Mentone Stakes over 1,350 metres, on the main track at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
This event has a purse of $150,000 and will see six horses seeking to win the $90,000 first prize cheque. Mendez has a two-pronged attack in the event with the SIR owned Control Unit being in the field.
Champion trainer John O'Brien has Danube Waltz while the in-form Shaffique Khan has two entered in Blue Oracle and Clermont County.
Sweet Sin City in the final contender from the Harriram Gobin stable.
Patriot Legend was nothing short of impressive on his debut and if he builds on the performance, it could be a one horse race. Ron Ali will be in the saddle.
When entries were taken yesterday a total of 96 horses took entry for the Arima Race Club (ARC) Day 23 nine-race programme.
Post time for the first event is at noon.
Here are the declared runners, riders and weights.
