WHAT a finish is in prospect for that 1350 metres Restricted Handicap on Arima Race Club Day 16 at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, on Saturday. Almost any of the 11-horse field can get to the wire first, and turfites knowledge will be put to the sternest test in the $35,000 race.

In a field which includes fleet-footed Regal Honour, T4ust N Confidence, Eto and Fresh Prospect, added to other top sprinter-stayers in Donut Prince, Marathon Man, Hurricane Watch and Mission King, finding the correct exacta combination will be difficult enough far more the correct quintet in this Hi5 betting race.

But for the turfites looking for a lucrative return on his bets, he will have a field day with three Hi5 races at his disposal — the fifth, seventh and ninth.

From the original nine-race programme, the third race which was listed as the Gleneagle Stakes for the three-year-old fillies over 1750 metres has been shifted to the eight, and in a flip-flop, the eighth goes to race three. Meanwhile, Bob’s Fortune looked razor sharp in a three-horse gallop ahead of her challenge in the Gleneagle.

Galloping with Added Time and Lil Bob, the Maniram “Boboy” Maharaj-bred, owned and trained filly went over 400 metres in a good 23.85 seconds.

But Kickupastorm from the Shaffique Khan barn only paced over 800 metres in 59.99 seconds.

All other challengers for the $150,000 Gleneagle feature remained indoors yesterday.
