Ramsammy teams up with Chadee

DOTTIE’S Way and Mandela who were beaten down the field in last Saturday’s Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Champagne Stakes will make a quick re-appearance. They are entered in the Starter Allowance feature on the Arima Race Club Day five card at Santa Rosa Park, Arima on Saturday. Both runners found the going tough against the top league in the 1600 metres Turf contest last raceday. But they have dropped their sights to compete among the Starter Allowance grouping over the same course and identical distance. They will have five opponents to contend with for purses valued at $22,000.

Dottie’s Way will shoulder the topweight of 54.5 kilos in the extended sprint, two less than she carried in her failed attempt in the Grade two contest. Mandela moves up 1.5 kilos for the same engagement. The Restricted Handicap, the co-feature on the ten-race programme will field  a line-up of nine, from the total of 91 runners engaged. The 1100 metres Turf dash which attracted 11 sprinters at entry stage on Monday, saw two runners — joint highweight Sure Ting and the low weight Reign Of Fire — ducking the engagement at yesterday’s declaration stage.

Emile Ramsammy, who scored a beavertrick and got on the tins with his other five mounts on Saturday was again in great demand. The Woodbine-based jockey, who chose to return home this year, instead of competing at leading racecourses in the United States, which he did the past seasons, was booked for eight rides. Ramsammy will ride for owner/trainer Harold Chadee in both features. He will sit aboard Porto Cervo in the Starter Allowance test and be in the irons of Smooth Operator in the Restricted Handicap.
