 Hello and welcome to the Kimana Spark Highlight Show. This week, we'll recap the race card from Saturday, March 2, 2024. Saturday's feature event was the SVREL 7th Anniversary Trophy Race, a great one event offering a purse of $1.75 million to make in dollars. Let's begin with Race 1. This was an optional claiming event going a distance of 1,005 Furlong Street. A modest feel-off is set to face the starter with a six-time champion jockey Omar Walker, a board trainer, Lee Clark's Silverstein, breaking from the outside post. Three Furlongs. Cold pursuit has some catching up to do in the blue cap over toward the middle of the racetrack, but they're coming up toward a Silverstein under the stands right up with those leaders. Stanislaus is in a handy position. Absolute blue is there. Cold pursuit now beginning to get warmer as they charge up now inside the last quarter. Absolute blue and a cold pursuit on the far side. Stanislaus in the yellow with the white cap nearest to us, and Stanislaus may just have their head in front here. His absolute blue and cold pursuit, Chinese music, has drifted way over toward the far side, but now cold pursuit snatches the lead. They race toward the final 16th at Philip Parchment, the bustling Philip Parchment, and he drives cold pursuit away from them. They're not going to catch cold pursuit in the first, winning by six or more. Absolute blue second, Chinese music third, ahead of mule train fourth. Stanislaus is fifth. The bustling Philip Parchment takes to the day's first in fine style, dismantling a quality field and winning by seven and three quarters of a length, in front of runner-up Absolute blue, and is stopping the clock in one minute and two seconds flat over the quick sprint. Saturday's second race was a maiden condition event for native bred three years old and up, going seven and a half furlongs. A small field of six set to compete with train-up Patrick Lynch, fielding two entries, breaking from the two and the three box respectively. They're often racing, J speeds, steps a bit slow, and is left at the back of the field. Oil machine got a good break out, why? J speed, coupling up nicely as they head toward the six furlong point on the course. So they're coming to the six and it is J speed on the rail, right there too, that bold shadow and bold shadow is right there, also coming up on the rail that's Kailin Melody, and now Kailin Melody and J speed fight on, bold shadow watches them from third, then comes the general right against the rail, right beside the general that is a oil machine and racing at the back of the field, King Pie. They're head toward the four and it is still the war up front between Kailin Melody and J speed. They've eked out a two length lead from bold shadow racing in third, going down into now that's oil machine, the general backing out, and also recovering and making ground that's King Pie, they're coming to the three and it is J speed, narrowly about a half a length from Kailin Melody, these two have been fighting for it so far, also coming on on the outside and coming down that is King Pie, looking dangerous, oil machine is right there too, then comes behind those that's bold shadow and racing at the back of the field, the general J speed kicks away from Kailin Melody, still trying to fight hard, also coming on that is King Pie, J speed bringing them to the furrow long pole with a good looking lead, it's J speed slipping away from these, King Pie is also fighting back, fighting for more, that's Kailin Melody but J speed out in the middle of the race track and fuller run this afternoon is J speed opening up the card, it's terrific Teving Foster and J speed sprinting clear, maybe by six, that type for second could be Kailin Melody over King Pie and oil machine backing forth. Recovering from an awful start, that was a notable performance from the debutante J speed, a three-year-old Greg Holt out of Everglades farms trained by Patrick Lynch and owned by Member of Parliament for western Portland, Darryl Vaz. Racer three on the card was another optional claiming event going 1100 meters, a seven-horse field reduced to six with Senor Quanzi from the three draw, deemed a late non-starter. Trainer Donovan Plummer's Galway Bay was the best backed runner, sent off at odds of three to one. Starter ready there off, Crafty Zelazine refuses to race, came out, turned around and will have no more part in the event as Fiery Path and Galway Bay match strides, Fiery Path in the yellow, just a leader from Galway Bay, a break of some four lengths back to Party Princess as they're about to arrive at the half mile, she's tracked two lengths down by so magnificent and at the back of the field it's last hurrah, they leave the 716th, Galway Bay now takes charge by just a half a length, Fiery Path continues the attack as they leave the three, a break of five or six to Party Princess, a length and a part back to so magnificent in the red and last hurrah has a mountain to climb as the field will come into the lane, Galway Bay just off the rail, Fiery Path against it, Galway Bay first into the lane with that lead, Fiery Path continues the battle down against it, Galway Bay drifting down to the rail, Fiery Path now, may have been squeezed for space a bit but Galway Bay is taken off now and running straight and true, Fiery Path continues the fight down against the rail, so magnificent has made some ground, last hurrah doing just that coming with a late kick but Galway Bay has the lead inside the final 16th, Fiery Path trying to come again, Galway Bay battling Fiery Path, here is so magnificent, they flash pass together, so magnificent, Galway Bay, Fiery Path looks to be third, last hurrah fourth, Party Princess is a fifth. A mild upset by the 7 to 1 bet, so magnificent, partnered with a good ride and a well deserved win by Jocky Everton-Storne who gets it right on the day after a lengthy break from the winner's enclosure, they covered the 1,100 meters distance in 1 minute 14 seconds flat. Race 4 was a maiden conditioned event for native bred foyers old and up, going 1,300 meters and 6.5 furlongs. A field of 7 set to go post wads, female Jocky Samantha Fletcher was looking for her first win on Saturday's car aboard Donovan plumbers for a old, bay cold double the clash. Tequila flight and way way out of it, that's Demetripe, they head to all the four and it's Sugar Sugar stretching that lead, about four lengths in front of atomic energy, casual treasure going down into third, right there and coming on and really coming on nicely, that's Sir Ganga Jamuna, they're about another gap before we come to double the cash and the Tequila flight and still hopelessly racing alone at the back of the field, that's Demetripe, Sugar Sugar kicks and there's about six lengths in front and really traveling nicely, Sugar Sugar at the top of the lane, bringing them into the lane, running on for second, that is Sir Ganga Jamuna, Sugar Sugar coasting on that lead, Sir Ganga Jamuna is asked for more and trying to get closer on the outside atomic energy, looks to be closing well, also coming on on the rail, that is a Tequila flight, but Sugar Sugar passing the furlong pole in front and looks to be beyond recall, Sugar Sugar enjoying the races today and Sugar Sugar is sweet in victory I should say, Sugar Sugar by about nine lengths, Tequila flight is second, then comes Sir Ganga Jamuna and atomic energy. The most improved rider for 2023, Radish Roman, camps of the day's fourth event, with an experienced rider board at the four to five favorite, Sugar Sugar, beating the likes of Tequila flight, Sir Ganga Jamuna and atomic energy in the final top four position. Saturday's fifth event was a redistricted allowance race for native red four years old and up, non-winners of two, importers four years old and up, maidens only, trainer Gary Sabrati teamed up with jockey Radish Roman to mount the more fan-seed of his two runners, the lone importer Katie Strong. They're off, home alone misses it, with money box trying to recover quickly, as they charge down the back stretch and head toward the six sparkles in between horses, she's a mirage out three wide, Katie's strong running the rail as they slip past the six princess, Tequila racing just in behind them, maybe three and a half lengths separates that bunch, a break of a length and a half back to home alone in the green and yellow, toward the outside always right making ground, Sky Rizzi Tuck neatly in between horses and a money box outspend and hopeless at the moment at the back, they're about to leave the back stretch, they arrive at the half mile and she's a mirage and Abigail Abel have taken charge up front, they lead by some three lengths and opening the lead a bit over Katie's strong chasing, sparkles is right there in third spot, Sky Rizzi in the red races up next and being urged to go, always right kept to the outside, home alone splitting horses, Princess Tequila on the rail overtaken by those and money box remains firmly planted at the rear of the field as they come thundering into the top of the lane, it is a Katie's strong now in charge, Katie's strong out in front large and in charge, the rider has a look behind, Katie's strong and the sneaky fox Radish Roman now begin to pour it on, it's Katie's strong opening up, sparkles in pursuit with always right but they seem to be treading water as this Katie's strong is full of power and running away from them, Katie's strong inside the final 16th under the pump and Katie's strong will win by double digits, no doubt about that Katie's strong in a facile victory, sparkles is second always right is third, Princess Akila is fourth. As predicted in the tote, the one-to-one even money favorite Katie's strong delivers unexpected tations with a resounding 12 and a half length victory margin and stopping the clock in 1 minute 29 seconds flat over the 1400 meters distance. We take a break now on the Kimana Spark Highlight Show and when we return, we recap the remainder of the races from the Saturday card. Welcome back to the Kimana Spark Highlight Show, we continue our recap from Saturday March 2nd, let's pick up at race number 6. This was an optional claiming event going a distance of 1400 meters or 7 furlongs. A 9-horse field reduced to 8 with a scratch of JJ Warrior from the 9 box, leaving trainer Arrol Stanbury with one less entry in the lineup. They're often racing, stepping a bit slow that she boom and genealogy as they head towards the 6 furlong point and it is a queen's hand narrowly on that lead. Rohan Kabir right against the rail in second right there in third that's big argument then comes just an illusion recovering after that brat break that she boom right beside she boom genealogy then

against the rail queen's hand fighting hard in the middle out wide that is big argument but it is Rohan Kabir that hits the front from queen's hand trying to fight back coming to the furlong pole it's Rohan Kabir being rolled over by the bustling fil parchment and he's beginning to pull away from these it's the second on the card for the bustling fil parchment Rohan Kabir in a total control
