IT was a flawless ride from Randolph Richmond, as he piloted Kings Night across the finish line to win yesterday’s Guyana Cup Fever feature event for horses classified C2 and Lower at the Rising Sun Turf Club.It was definitely not all plain sailing for the animal out of the Jumbo Jet Racing Stables, but the animal kicked on in the closing furlongs to storm past a star-studded field in dominant fashion by a two lengths.
On a breezy Easter Sunday afternoon at the packed Turf Club, Kings Night galloped across the finish line ahead of Just Call me Boss, CP Got Even and Plum Plum in the 1400 metres event.
In the feature event, the nine animals left the gate at an even break and as they approached the first turn, the lead interchanged in rapid succession.
However, it was Kings Night that had the final say as it pulled away from the pack as they approached the final turn.
Coming into the homestretch, Richmond decided to let Kings Night take control by giving it full rein and the champion race horse crossed the finish line comfortably.
