    I'm not a big horse-racing fan but this story was very

    satisfying.

    Bruce On The Loose wins again
    2009-09-25 09:04:50 | (0 Comments)

    Jamaica-bred colt BRUCE ON THE LOOSE destroyed a 13-horse field yesterday to capture the 80th Trinidad and Tobago Derby by a stunning 15 lengths.

    Owned locally by the Tres Amigos syndicate and superbly ridden by Venezuelan jockey Wilmer Galviz, the three-year-old completed the 10-furlong trip in two minutes, 05.3 seconds to take the top prize of 311, TT$500.

    It was the first Derby winner for Galviz, a former T&T champion jockey now based at Calder Racecourse in Miami, Florida.

    For trainer John O’Brien, it was his fourth Derby success since the centralisation of horse racing in T&T 15 years ago.

    Jamaica-bred horses made a clean sweep of the top six places with Mission King, Ketchikan, Marathon Man, Dance Machine and Hurricane Watch finishing behind BRUCE ON THE LOOSE.

    BRUCE ON THE LOOSE’S win extended his dominant record at Santa Rosa Park as he won his previous two starts in runaway fashion.

    BRUCE ON THE LOOSE had won two legs of the Jamaican Triple Crown, the Guineas and the St Leger, but was narrowly beaten in the Derby.

    The Trini and Bajan them a buy up Jamaican bred horses. Good for the breeders but bad for Jamaican racing. Racing is now a caribbean thing as you have yard horse and jockeys doing well in other island and you have Jockeys coming accross to ride in Ja.

    I hope Bruce on the Loose come back home.

          What you mean you hope Bruce come back home? That maybe he could meet a nice mare over there and abscond.....

              He Might Meet More Than One Mare

              To my knowledge, if Bruce won TTD $311,500, or USD $49,500, that is more money than he could win in one race in Jamaica.

              Bruce will probably run in the Caribbean Derby in Puerto Rico. Last year's race had a purse of USD $300,000

              Bruce paid off bettors at 7-5, which is better odds than his fans could have had at Caymanas. That track is notorious for winners with odds of less than 1-1.

                LOL. funny. Now there is connections between T&T racers and they just might keep him to win the big races there.
