Keep an eye on Beautiful Mind

BEAUTIFUL MIND is showing great form on the gallops, as trainers got their charges ready for next Friday’s Emancipation Day programme.

The Glenn Mendez—trained colt sprinted 1000 metres in the good time of 1:07.1 seconds at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, yesterday morning. On Monday, the Kdanzc/Mindset offspring went over 400 metres in 29.9 seconds. Not many of those engaged in the classic Oaks Stakes over 2000 metres were seen out yesterday. But Sweet Tempo was seen breezing over 1200 metres in 1:15.3 seconds, following another handy run over 1000 metres in 1:14.9 seconds on Monday. Creme Caramel was sent over 800 metres which she comnpleted in 59.9 seconds. Wild Life, another challenger for the Oaks, stepped 800 metres in 59.9 seconds yesterday. Phantom Bidder showed he is coming back to his best for the President’s Cup over 1900 metres with a good “burn out” over 1000 metres done in 1:11.8 seconds yesterday. The charge of champion trainer John O’Brien was sent over 600 metres on Monday, returning in 44.9 seconds for the run. Another O’Brien runner Millenium Reign was seen pacing over 1000 metres in 1:14.9 seconds yesterday. And last year’s Derby winner took it easy over 400 metres in 29.9 seconds on Monday morning.
