DANSTAR returns to form

RUFF Time made its mark on the horse racing world by winning the feature event Sunday at the Bush Lot United Turf Club’s AJM Stakes Horse Race meet.
Ruff Time, trained by S. Samaroo and ridden by Yovin Kissoonchand, stormed the Three-Year-Old Guyana Bred open sponsored by AJM and took home the top prize.
From Gate to wire, there was no challenge for Kissoonchand and Ruff Time, pulling out an early lead, and managing to hold it to the finish.

Finishing in second was Easy Bella with jockey A. Parmanan aboard, with Irish Eyes (K. Pierera) and Spank Me (C. Ross) finishing third and fourth.
The six-race programme got started with the J3 first-time starters, and first-time Jockey A. Parmanan took his first win on debut aboard Little Fanny ahead of Top of the Cloud (C. Ross), Misty Castle (Y. Drepaul) and Black Magic (O. Wills).

The Open Non-Earners since August 2024 was the second race on the card, and featured the first photo finish of the day, a fight to the line between the charging DANSTAR and Heartland, which gave the stewards extra work.
After a flying start, Heartland, with Y. Kissoonchand at the reins opened a gap on the field.

However, the late-charging DANSTAR with the day’s champion Jockey Kevin Paul stuck it across the line first by a nose; the third and fourth-placed finishers in Rags to Riches (J. Moses) and World Boss (Y. Drepaul) also requiring some sorting out.
The L Class open for Race Three was won by Get Them Bobby (K. Paul) ahead of Sarkar (K. Blakes), Bin Laden (C. Ross), and Pheonix (Y. Drepaul).

Race Four for the K Class and lower was won by Enemy Maker (K. Blakes) ahead of Three D Movie (C.Ross), Rockstar (K. Pierera) and Striking Distance (Y. Kissoonchand).

Ross, the Champion Jockey of the Year, picked up his first win of the day aboard Haley in Race 5 for the J Class and Lower Horses when he was able to comfortably outrun the field.
This left GT- Boss (Y. Kissoonchand) second ahead of Country Rock (K. Paul), and Risky Affairs (Jose Hamid).
