WERE A line to be run through MAHOGANY’s loss to RUNAWAY ALGO, reporting lightly trained off a seven-month break in mid-April, it would be reasonable to say the five-year-old gelding’s last true defeat was December 2020 when finishing fourth in the...

ATOMICA’s FLASHY 1:25.3 at exercise last Sunday has reignited the filly versus colt saga for Saturday’s Jamaica Derby despite BLUE VINYL’s convincing victory at 10 furlongs in the St Leger a month ago. Unbeaten in five starts heading into the St...

NOMOREDEALS finished second in three of his last five races. Though he finished sixth and 10th, respectively, in the Kingston Cup and 2000 Guineas, he ran creditably in both races won by BLUE VINYL, who impressively snapped ATOMICA’s win streak in...
