$3,600 penalty paid for Supremelysatisfied

CONNECTIONS of Jamaican-bred Supremelysatisfied paid a $3,600 penalty for him to race in the Carib Beer Caribbean Sprint Championship at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. The three-year-old son of Law Of The Sea/Midnight Angel who whipped compatriot and Royal Oak Derby runner-up Latonia in a 1300 metres event on October 30, will face a field which includes fleetfooted Salsa Moves, French Academy, and another Jamaican Seattle Sue in the 1200 metres race to be run on November 27, Carib Brewery Day. When final subscriptions of $300 closed on Monday, only Aticka were pulled out from the 12 for which second subs were paid. Champion two-year-old of last year, Pave The Way, is also among the field and turfites can hardly wait to see this one under colours for  the first time in a long time following an injury earlier this year.

And subscriptions have been paid for 11 runners in the Imported Juvenile Sprint to be run off on December 11. When final subs of $200 were taken on Monday, the un-named two-year-old by Dance Brightly/Oops I Am, Mossy Creek and Royal Dame were withdrawn. Meanwhile, Dinner Silence continued to show improvement at gallops, moving smoothly over 800 metres in company with Celebrity Jet. The pair was clocked in 52.73 seconds for the best gallop over the trip yesterday morning. Most trainers decided to take it easy with their horses yesterday, sending them to do pace work. But Carnival Messiah caught the eye with a splendid run over 1000 metres completed in 1:02.91 seconds. And Latonia showed she has kept her excellent form, stepping this same distance in a comfortable 1:05.00 seconds without being pressed.
