Former champion apprentice and first ever 'Triple Crown' winning apprentice Kimal Santo will make his debut at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver Saturday.
The young apprentice, who burst into the history when he piloted the John O'Brien trained Wise Guy to victory in the 2020 Triple Crown, will ride his first race in Canada. He will partner Drill Baby Drill for trainer Mel Snow in the sixth event. He could make his debut a winning one.
Last Sunday, after two race days and three near misses Learie Seecharan has landed his first winner when he partnered Lucky Luke to victory. He made virtually all the running and was briefly passed at the top of the straight but the duo battled back to win.
This weekend, he will have five rides, two Saturday and three Sunday. He will ride Country Cowboy and Fully Lent Saturday and Khaiky's Command, Knopfier, and Cattitude Sunday in and effort to continue his winning ways.
Twin brother Lenny has come on three occasions and and is knocking on the door for his first success of the season. He has been booked for four rides Saturday and two rides Sunday. Lenny will ride Sunblast, Free For Sure, Chica Hermosa and in the final event Saturday, Stay All Night. Sunday, he will ride Calamezeus and Bakzone. He is hoping to get off the mark this weekend.
The T&T racing twin, Learie and Lenny, did not have a good opening day but with Learie riding one winner and Lenny having three close misses it looks certain that the Lenny will soon be winning. T&T will have another top rider at this race track in Vancouver and Santo is seeking to join the racing twin in flying T&T's flag high.
