THE West Side remained the best side as the Slingerz family stables continued their dominance in horse racing with a wire-to-wire win in Sunday’s Feature event of the KABISA Open stakes meet.
Held at the Bush Lot United Turf Club, the seasoned Jhon Bull ran rampant over the younger compatriots to finish lengths clear of the field in the 1200m dash.
With jockey Blake aboard the 6-year-old, the ‘Bull’ was well and truly always in control of a masterful blow-out of the field, leaving J’s Racing Stable’s Novo Sol (N. Abrigo) and Jumbo Jet Racing Stable’s Stormy Entry (C. Ross) to fight for second and third.
Slingerz Racing Stable owner Javid Ali could not contain his elation at the victory, contending, “It’s always a team effort that goes into getting these champions prepared. I must thank all those who put their efforts into this win today [Sunday] and it is great to see Jhon Bull returning to that form we all know.”
In the opening fixture of the day, it took a photo finish to determine that Princess Sasha (Z. Masood) had pipped Enemy Maker (Blake) for the 1200m J and K class maidens; Kiss (K. Pereira) finished third.
The three-year-old Guyana Bred open was also a closely knit affair with Top Gun (Y. Kissoonchand) finishing ahead of Black Time (C.Ross) and Money Time (Q. Kellman)
