Sure Ting handed 56.5 kilos for handicap

Sure Ting had been allotted the top impost of 56.5 kilos for the sole handicap on the Arima Race Club Day three card at Santa Rosa Park, Arima on Saturday.

The Glenn Mendes trainee, who finished runner-up to Tactical Bid on the opening day of the current racing season and failed to deliver the goods, as favourite, when tried over a distance of ground in her next start has been asked to give weight all round to her seven rivals in the Restricted Handicap over 1200 metres. In reverting in trip for the sprint, framed as the supporting highlight to an Allowance event on Saturday’s 10-race card, the four-year-old daughter of Salute/ Devil’s Remedy will be conceeding one kilo to Gaza Strip and as much as 12.5 to Cyber Five. Rhythm Divine has had an outstanding 2003 season under Cyril ‘Patch’ Arneaud. The local bred six-year-old which climbed up from the $7,500 ranks has been assigned 55.5 kilos in the event, two more than American import Kalyan.
