Slingerz John Bull wins feature event

NO quarters were given in Sunday’s feature event of the Cricket Carnival President’s Cup but in the end, it was Slingerz Racing Stables’ John Bull that emerged winner.
One of the newer horses on the Circuit, John Bull was considered the underdog against Guyana Cup winner, Easy Time in a match race (a race where only two or three horses are run).
According to the owner, Javid Ali, being the underdog in the fight made it all the more sweet when his horse crossed the line first.

“I knew my horse had it coming around the final corner, because I saw how it was going. It took a lot of work to beat the Guyana Cup defending champion in a close race,” Ali said.
From the get-go, John Bull, ridden by Abrigo, was on stride with Easy Time out of the Master Z racing stable with Collin Ross aboard.
As they rounded the six-furlong mark, there was nothing to support a clear winner as the lead shifted back and forth.
Fans were on their feet for both horses, neither of which was giving each other an inch, pushing each other all the way to the finish line; John Bull inching Easy Time for the $10M purse and Banks Beer Trophy.

Race Seven saw retribution for Guyana Cup Derby runner-up and Bronson Cheefoon- owned Rachel in the Associated Construction-sponsored three-year-old Guyana and West Indies bred horses.
