‘Subs’ paid for Flying Millie in Gleneagle, Guineas

CONNECTIONS of injury-stricken The Night Man did not pay first subscriptions for the impressive colt for this year’s Arima Race Club Guineas. Ravi Ramjanack’s son of Gilgamesh/Crescendo, a most impressive 10 1/4 length winner of his only previous start, suffered an injury during the running of the Royal Colours Classic on Saturday last and trailed in last of seven runners. But trainer Cyril “Greypatch” Arneaud said the injury to The Night Man is not as serious as first thought, and confirmed he will be out for a few weeks.

When first subscriptions of $600 became due on Monday, connections paid up for 34 three-year-olds including Jamaican-bred Flying Millie winner of the “Royal Colours” from the Jack Debideen stables. The Guineas over 1800 metres will be run off on May 30 at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. Apart from Flying Millie, two-year-old champion Arts And Lovers, Crown Point, the improving Prince Charming and the other Arneaud-trained runner Baby Mass. Another 16 horses including Flying Millie, had first subscriptions of $400 paid for the Gleneagle Stakes or Fillies Guineas also to be run off on April 30. In that race this filly is again set to take on Arts And Lovers who also had subscriptions paid on Monday for both races over the identical distance. Second subscriptions for the Grade 2 Arima Race Club Guineas of $400 become due on April 11, while the second subscriptions of $300 for the “Gleneagle”  become due on March 21.
