 Yeah, we're at the track covering the sport of Kings coming up this week. Jamaica's champion trainer Jason Dacosta repeats what his late dad Wayne Dacosta achieved seven years ago, landing the Thornburg Steaks and Prince Consort Steaks Double at Cayman Espart. The Barbados champion trainer Andrew Nunes also grabs headlines with feature a success at the Garrison Savannah. And a classy win for the 80-year-old gelding I Am Maximus in the world's most famous steeple chase, the Grand National at Aintree in England, plus the usual check-in on Caribbean success on the North American continent or opening store from Jamaica. The road to the Triple Crown series in Jamaica continued this past weekend with the latest prep events for the early June Guinness races that kick off Thoroughbred Racing's Triple Crown calendar, nine horses and Sunday's Prince Consort Steaks for Colts and geldings, all eyes on the 2023 champion two-year-old, interesting times ahead with leading Jockey Tevin Foster aboard the cold out for his first run this year, coming off his win in December as Jamaica's two-year-old Steaks. There's a nine-horse field with the odds, as many as six of the starters winners in their last races, interesting times ahead in the five-box, owned by Liz Dacosta and trained by her son Jason Dacosta, the happy favorite at two to five. The other fans had entries in the betting, the one-horse crown chaser, the second favorite at five to two, J. Speed, the two-horse at four to one, four captain's sparrow and six allegiance, both crown chasers' table mates from the Antonin Nunes barren at 15 to one, number seven, the costas Teflon Don also at 15 to one. The trip seven furlongs for Colts and geldings, they went early spits of 24 by 47 for, and as ace commentator, Bran Rickman picked up the call with the field, leaving the far turn, the favorite interest in times ahead, badly bumped out of the starting gates and off the pace here, but was patiently and confidently handled by Foster as he quickened toward the lead. Teflon Don has now snatched that lead, J. Speed in pursuit, unruly Don backing out into third. There goes midnight galaxy now shaken up for run and beginning to make some eye-catching progress, allegiance is there, interesting times ahead, also picking up on the outside, but the field will turn for home with Teflon Don just on the outside, J. Speed now kicking in against the rail at J. Speed points the head in front, Teflon Don will try to fight back, interesting times ahead now, warmed up and beginning to close, it is J. Speed out in front arriving at the furlong pole, here is interesting times ahead now, switched down against the rail, J. Speed holding on, interesting times ahead trying to close up, Devin Foster looking for a four-timer, an interesting times ahead will give it to him in the 31st running of the Prince Consort stakes. Much the best on the afternoon, interest in times ahead, guided to the rail run before pulling clear for the commanding victory, by bold conquest out of the he's the real thing mayor, my friend Lucy, the cold interest in times ahead makes it three wins in a row and gives form Jockey Tevin Foster one of five wins on the afternoon, the first career five-timer for the 29-year-old leading Jockey, who twice had four timers since the start of the year. Liz the Costa's interest in times ahead by three lengths as the two-to-five favorite in the Prince Consort, but trainer Jason the Costa, who won three races on the afternoon, the five-to-two bet crown chaser after a sluggish start, ran really well to close the second, one-minute 28 and three-fifths the winning time for seven furlongs. The Phyllis Guinness prep, the Thornbird stakes was contested on Saturday and it was another Jason the Costa show, although it was the Jamaica two-year-old stakes runner-up, run Julie run the favorite, to give trainer Ian Passard back-to-back Thornbird stakes wins, he having scored with Boutalicious last year, but as Jockey Robert Halladine rouses the Costa's eight-to-one shot, Bannadura into a three-length lead coming off the final bend, it was clear this field was in trouble. Midnight flight in pursuit, come home to me is there, fast and furious, links also in the red racing just in behind them with Miss Cherry and Shani Star, but Bannadura brings them into the top of the lane in the Thornbird, they leave the quarter pole, here is come home to me now, coming home strong down against the rail, but it's Bannadura with that lead from come home to me in the pink gap, Miss Cherry now asked to come with a rush, Bannadura being caught now by come home to me gaining all the time as they flash past for a long pole, it's Bannadura, come home to me has to be switched on the outside as Bannadura took the rail, Bannadura continuing to hold the lead, come home to me and run Julie run coming fast, but Bannadura wins the Thornbird. Halladine's bustling ride gets Bannadura home, over his closing stablemate, come home to me and the great favorite run Julie run on the outside, almost half of this 13-horse field more fancied in the betting than Bannadura, but an eight-to-one she cops her third win in five starts, the Costa the first trainer now to complete the Thornbird Prince consort stakes double since his dad Wayne the Costa achieved it seven years ago in 2017 with she's a man-eater and fearless samurai and he says after the Phillies good hotline stakes win last month he expected more betting support for her in the Thornbird. I was a bit surprised, I thought I should have been a bit shorter, coming off of that good win after layoff and you should should only improve off of that run so I was kind of surprised, I thought. Milena Zanz Bannadura, the eight-to-one upset winner by a length and a half in the Thornbird stakes chased by the 20-to-one stablemate come home to me with a six-to-five favorite run Julie run third, 129 and one fifth the winning time for seven furlongs, jocky Halladine with one of two wins on the card. Also Saturday a big clash in the Lady Geeta trophy race between the impressive racers Desert of Malibu and Mahogany both odds on in the betting, but radish Roman aboard Desert Malibu here impedes Mahogany's inside challenge forcing Ryan Lewis to pull his mount from the squeeze. Desert Malibu passed the post in front over the fast closing a gift from Ben but following a stewards inquiry and jocky's objection Desert of Malibu disqualified and placed third behind Mahogany, a gift from Ben at 11-to-one promoted to the winners spot ahead of Mahogany for jocky Ramon Napier owner's DSTL and associates and trainer Fitzgerald Richards. Two Barbados now where trainer Jean Marcosier had a strong hand in Saturday's feature Gordon Lewis Memorial. He swept last year's event with Ziko winning ahead of Zahid and So Swab in a one, two, three finish. Zahid and So Swab back to Sierra's fans at entries. But in this five-horse deal there was also the fairly accomplished Renaissance frolic from the barn of champion trainer Andrew Buschanunis, a multiple stakes winner in the USA whose two Barbados wins late last year came over this 7.8 for a long trip and as Dean Springer picks up the call mid-race it's the reigning Sander Lane Spass sprint champion Zahid, the two-to-one third favorite with top jocky Ricky Walcott setting the pace as they're around the far turn and head up the hill towards the three-follow marker and it's a dual up front Zahid, three parts of a length up on master rule, Renaissance frolic a length away on his outside journey with a blade weight so So Swab still has all the others to pass after a half-minute 49-93 he's got just about 25 seconds to do it as they come towards the quarter pole and Zahid has dismissed master rule but he's gonna have no coming out in Renaissance frolic so Jimmy's run is flattened out so So Swab has just gone and by master rule and into the stretch to come. It's Zahid on the middle of the course on the outside here is Renaissance frolic. It's Zahid on Renaissance frolic. Zahid from Renaissance frolic. So Swab from Lee home and on the outside Renaissance frolic and Zahid so Swab with one dashed urge. With a strong finish on the outside a well-measured ride here by Ray Williams who was the 2017 sovereign award winner as Canada's leading apprentice jocky for his exploits at Northland Spark and Central Downs in Alberta. Sir David Seals, Renaissance frolic third in February's Coulmore and seventh in the Sander Lane Gold Cup but rebounding here for the win. A third victory from eight starts in Barbados after that 11 wins in the USA making it 14 lifetime victories so far. The Andrew Nunes train Renaissance frolic, a one-length winner of the Gordon Lewis Memorial Handicap at 9 to 5 odds. The joint favorite with So Swab who finished well for second. Zahid fading to third 136.60 the winning time for 7.8 furlongs for trainer Andrew Nunes. And finally the grand national in Aintree England labeled Thorbett Racing's most famous steeper chase. It was live on Sportsmax Saturday morning. 32 starters, 30 fences and a massive disappointment early as the defending champion Korak Rambler unseated his rider at the first fence. Coming off the final jump, history-making female jocky Rachel Blackmore in the Red Silks and Stripe Cap who won the 2021 edition threatened to bore the 28 to 1 shot Minnella Indo before I am Maximus challenged with his winning run. A proud moment for jocky Paul Townan who wins the one million pound grand national for the first time. I am Maximus at 7 to 1 wins by a widening seven and a half lengths over Delta work for trainer now two-time winner Willie Mullins talking nine minutes 27.68 seconds for the four and a quarter mile run on the Aintree turf. Our usual weakly tally of Caribbean wins in the USA before we go in the past week since our last show have counted 14 victories among them the Jamaican jocky Romero Ramsey Mirage who had two wins at Aqueduct where the Jamaican trainer Charlton Baker and the Guyanese trainer Lolita Shivmangal also won.
