Swept Away going for ‘Starlight’ repeat

But it will not be a two-horse race, however, with Derby winner Academy Award, Dark Treasure and Desert Dancer holding the enagement.

The vote goes to Academy Award to give newboy trainer Jake O’Brien his first “big race” winner.

A disappointing four horses will line up for the other top race of the day, the 1600 metres gallop for horses rated 90-70 on the turf worth $42,500.

The winner heree should be the consistent Takeoneforjoey, following his great runner-up finish to sprint king Control Unit on Saturday last.

The Arima Race Club has provided an attractive nine-race programme for turfites which gets underway at 12.30 pm.

And the lucky turfite to spot a Hi5 will receive a single winner bonus of over $21,000.

Added to this, there is a single winner bonus of over E75,000 on the Superfecta, while another $11,000-plus carry over at stake in the Place 8.
